Amdocs spokesman Dan
Ginsburg said the company has not been notified of any FBI investigation and
only heard of the probe from news reporters on May 4.

Pietton provided translation services for the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA), the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, and the
Internal Revenue Service. Other translation clients included the
fraud-plagued French bank Credit Lyonnais and the collapsed
telecommunications giant, MCI. Ambassador Pietton had served as the
French Consul General in Miami from 1992 to 1997. He then was a top
official at the Quai d'Orsay in Paris before being posted with his
wife to Jerusalem as French Consul General from 1999 to 2002. Pietton
and his wife then transferred to Washington for three years before
becoming French ambassador to South Africa. While the Piettons were in
Jerusalem, the DEA began conducting surveillance of teams of Israeli
"art students" who were living and working with some of the
9/11 hijackers, particularly in the Miami-Dade and Broward County
area. Some of the atudents claimed to be art students from the
non-existent University of Jerusalem. The nexus of the Israelis, many
of whom were former Israeli military and intelligence personnel, with
some of the 9/11 hijackers, was quickly ushered off the pages of
newspapers and a Fox News story on the students was yanked from the
network's web site. MORE

finding a grand jury in Chicago to indict Blagojevich. WMR was
specifically told that e-mails between Washington and Chicago would be
contained in PINWALE and that is something that could pose a problem
for Fitzgerald in explaining where all his intercepts of Blagojevich

Free
Republic contributor: In recent years, the FBI and other
government agencies have investigated Amdocs more than once. The firm has
repeatedly and adamantly denied any security breaches or wrongdoing. But
sources tell Fox News that in 1999, the super secret national security
agency, headquartered in northern Maryland, issued what's called a Top
Secret sensitive compartmentalized information report, TS/SCI, warning
that records of calls in the United States were getting into foreign hands
- in Israel, in particular. Investigators don't believe calls are being
listened to, but the data about who is calling whom and when is plenty
valuable in itself. An internal Amdocs memo to senior company executives
suggests just how Amdocs generated call records could be used.
"Widespread data mining techniques and algorithms.... combining both
the properties of the customer (e.g., credit rating) and properties of the
specific 'behavior.'" Specific behavior, such as who the customers
are calling.

The Amdocs memo says the system should be used to
prevent phone fraud. But U.S. counterintelligence analysts say it could
also be used to spy through the phone system. Fox News has learned that
the N.S.A has held numerous classified conferences to warn the F.B.I. and
C.I.A. how Amdocs records could be used. At one NSA briefing, a diagram by
the Argon national lab was used to show that if the phone records are not
secure, major security breaches are possible. From Fox News 13
December 2001. Link http://www.rense.com/general18/isr2.htm

been amply dramatized by the FBI career of Sibel Edmonds, which came to an

John
O'Neil ,
FBI agent killed on 9/11 in the WTC was investigating the Israeli
Art Students

Sept. 8/9/10, 2006 -- According to a source who knew the
late FBI John O'Neill, the head of the Joint Terrorism Task Force in
New York and the man who fought bureaucratic meddling in his
investigation of the October 2000 USS Cole bombing and the Saudi
connection to the funding of Al Qaeda, was also investigating Israeli
"art students" and "movers" engaged in suspicious
activity around sensitive facilities prior to the 911 attacks.
O'Neill, who accepted the job as head of World Trade Center security
just prior to 911 and after his retirement from the Bureau, was killed
when the South Tower collapsed.

It is known that O'Neill was extremely upset at what he considered
interference in his investigation of the Saudis and Israelis by the
highest levels of the Bush administration and the FBI bureaucracy. WMR
conducted a major investigation of the Israeli "art
students" and "movers" story. Click here.

O'Neill was put under official FBI investigation after his
briefcase, containing classified documents, was stolen at an FBI
pre-retirement conference in Florida and recovered by police a few
hours later in another Orlando hotel -- classified papers intact --
with a Montblanc pen, lighter, and cigar cutter missing. It is
believed that among the documents contained in O'Neill's briefcase
were reports about Israeli intelligence activity -- reports that
originally emanated from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and
later contained in a massive DEA report on the suspicious activities
of the Israeli operatives in locations where the future 911 hijackers
were also active.

1. Both the 4th amendment AND the FISA law
explicitly call for "probable cause", not 'professional
judgement' or 'reasonable cause'.

2. Simple FISA translation: if you need to, do
what you will, but tell us no later than 72 hours afterward: i.e.
FISA is no impediment or argument on the grounds of 'FISA will slow
our ops cycle down'.

3. When will the other 'NSA' foot drop? There are
TWO great US domestic phone call spying scandals in play right now -
but only one is receiving headlines - Now why is that? - since
they're both doing the same thing but in different ways, and the one
that isn't being written about is surely more threatening and more
likely to result in political and commercial blackmail material. Why
is the MSM not screaming about AMDOCS? Or is AMDOCS in media? AMDOCS
(an Israeli company) does the billing for more than 80% of all
domestic US traffic. Both reports and media write-ups over the last
5 years or so claim and otherwise document that Amdocs - along with
'sister' firm Comverse (also an Israeli firm) are traffic analyzing
and selectively recording virtually every phone call in the US - and
could be passing information on to the Israeli government (surely
not huh?!). Don't take my word for it: Google "AMDOCS" and
become very afraid.

4. Producing the complete lists of those the NSA
is specifically monitoring (to the appropriate Senate and House
entities). It's never going to happen because, as written in the
blog, there is the curious behaviour of NSA in response to Quest's
request for a court ruling (from FISA) or a DoJ clarification. Thus
here's the billion dollar question:

5. "Do you now or have you ever monitored a
member of the US House of Representatives, or a member of the US
Senate?" No one will answer this question. Yet, if it should
ever come to light that this has occurred, I'll bet on the
following, twisted argument that exploits a resonance in American
(and world perceptions): Investigator: "Why? Why spy on House
and Senate memebers? "NSA: "9/11". Investigator:
"9/11?" NSA:"From an exhaustive analysis of public
and, private, and secret data we've come to the conclusion that 9/11
cannot have occurred without significant and high-level domestic
assistance. High-level assistance." Invesitgator: "Are you
trying to say some members of the House and/or Senate KNEW about or
assisted 9/11?". NSA:"No. We've reasonable grounds (not
probable cause) for thinking so and need - in the face of so
possible and gigantic a risk, to determine once and for all if it's
so. Hence the surveillance program." My take: Dumbya is Nixon
and he's got everyone (535 House and Senate members) in his sights
(on tape or disk). Except Dumbya's just the "face" of the
puppet master - and Chinny-Rummy-Camby-Cond(y)-Johnny-Elly-Bolty-et
al are the puppet master's fingers and hands.

6. Anybody ever think that the 750+ Signing
Statements Bush has appended to executive orders, bills, laws, etc
signed by him amount to one of the clearest ever sets of evidence by
a head of state for war crimes? Every one of his
"employees" can point upward and say "the boss's
doing, don't ask me, I just follow orders around here" [I know,
I know, since the WWII Nuremburg Trials 'just following orders'
isn't supposed to stop a judicial bullet of any kind - but then
again, Nuremburg was unequivocal about the grounds for invading
another country (Hitler's pre-eminent crime) without immeditae,
proximate, and threatening cause [my words, their sense].

In summary: If the NSA is so disturbing then
AMDOCS ought scare the living day lights out of us! And you just
know they both know about each other (Comverse too). Is this like
one burglar bumping into another on the same job? - Or is there an
even deeper evil about the jobs they're both pulling?

Israeli Art Students, "The Israeli "art student"
mystery For almost two years, hundreds of young Israelis falsely claiming to
be art students haunted federal offices -- in particular, the DEA. No one
knows why -- and no one seems to want to find out. ... In January 2001, the
security branch of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency began to receive a
number of peculiar reports from DEA field offices across the country.
According to the reports, young Israelis claiming to be art students and
offering artwork for sale had been attempting to penetrate DEA offices for
over a year. The Israelis had also attempted to penetrate the offices of
other law enforcement and Department of Defense agencies. Strangest of all,
the "students" had visited the homes of numerous DEA officers and
other senior federal officials.

WASHINGTON - It could be the biggest espionage scandal

dozens of alleged spies living in the United States - refuses to die down.
Anyone who believes the story says that everything is accurately
documented and confirmed, and that only a conspiracy on the part of the
U.S. administration - which is desperate to keep the affair quiet, partly
out of shame and partly because of its warm relations with Israel - is
keeping the affair out of the spotlight of public discussion. Those who
repudiate the affair say it is baseless, just another unfounded urban

Mohamed Atta and his cohort, Ziad Jarreh, may have been Mossad agents or
double agents. 1/2011

Following yesterday's WMR special report on the 9/11 "hijacking"
cells being run by the Israeli Mossad intelligence agency, we have been
contacted by reliable sources who have evidence that "lead hijacker"
Mohamed Atta and his cohort, Ziad Jarreh, may have been Mossad agents or
double agents. There is also no actual proof that any of the "hijacking"
teams ever made it aboard any of the four flights on 9/11. Autopsies of
bodies discovered at the Pentagon yielded no Arab identities and there
were no Arab names on any of the flight manifests.

In September 2009, WMR reported: "Last year, two Lebanese brothers —
Ali Jarreh and Youssef Jarreh — were arrested by Lebanese authorities
who linked the pair to an espionage cell responsible for the car bombing
assassination of Hezbollah military commander Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus
in February 2008. The Jarrah’s were found by the Lebanese Army in
possession of 'communication devices and other sophisticated equipment.'
The Jarrahs arrested by the Lebanese had been recruited by the Mossad in
the 1980s when Israel occupied a large section of Lebanon. And for a
Paul Harvey-like “rest of the story,” they are related to Ziad Jarreh,
the man who was said to have been a close associate and fellow hijacking
planner of Mohamed Atta and whose American visa was found with photo and
visa number largely intact in a field in Pennsylvania on 9/11."

WMR has also been informed by a Joint Terrorism Task Force source
stationed in New York in 2001 that Atta lived in Fort Lee, New Jersey in
August 2001 and was protected by Israeli "art students" who lived close
to Atta in Fort Lee. The art students, identified as Mossad agents by
the FBI and CIA, lived in Fort Lee from June to September 2001.

Atta maintained high-level contacts in Saudi intelligence and
Pakistan's Inter Service Intelligence (ISI), giving the Mossad plausible
deniability of any relationship with Atta. FBI teams were denied access
to the passenger manifest of the El Al plane that exfiltrated scores of
Mossad agents from New York's JFK airport to Tel Aviv in the afternoon
of 9/11. There is reason by some FBI agents to believe that "Mohamed
Atta" was among the passengers on the El Al escape flight.

investigators fear information generated by this firm may have fallen

into that network to intercept, record and store the wiretapped calls,
and at the same time transmit them to investigators ... Adding to the
suspicions is the fact that in Israel, Comverse works closely with the
Israeli government, and under special programs, gets reimbursed for up
to 50 percent of its research and development costs by the Israeli
Ministry of Industry and Trade. But investigators within the DEA, INS
and FBI have all told Fox News that to pursue or even suggest Israeli
spying through Comverse is considered career suicide." [Note: This

Israeli Spies in Mexico (Bomb in Mexican Congress scandal), rense.com
[Archive of links to articles about recent Israeli spying scandals in
Mexico] Were the Spies "Journalists"? The ADL Snoops, Counterpunch,
January 23, 2002 "The organization's main 'fact-finder' was doubling as
a spy for the white South African government while his buddy, a San
Francisco cop who had tutored El Salvadoran death squads on the finer
aspects of torture, was providing its officials with personal
information on the organization's putative enemies when the story broke
in San Francisco in December, 1992. The organization was the
Anti-Defamation League. The ADL claims to be the nation's leading
defender against prejudice and bigotry but in this instance its targets
were members of the African National Congress and its supporters, and
apparently everyone, Arab and non-Arab, who had the temerity to
criticize Israel. This included some who drove to Arab community events
where the ADL's 'fact-finder,' Roy Bullock, and the cop, Tom Gerard,
took turns writing down their license plate numbers, which Gerard turned
into addresses thanks to his access to California motor vehicle records.
Their spying efforts proved to be part of a much larger intelligence
gathering operation that targeted some 12,000 individuals and more than
600 left-of-center organizations in northern California. After the first
flurry of publicity, the ADL's spin doctors successfully kept the story
from receiving the national coverage that the situation warranted. But
the story hasn't gone away. Last November the California Court of
Appeals handed down a decision that paves the way for a major test later
this year of the ADL's penchant for spying on its enemies. It was the
most significant episode in a slow-moving class-action case filed in
1993 by 19 pro-Palestinian and anti-apartheid activists who claim to be
victims of the ADL's snooping operations. The plaintiffs say they were
illegally spied on by Bullock, then considered the ADL's top
"fact-finder" by his now deceased chief, Irwin Suall, and that such
spying constituted an invasion of privacy under the provisions of the
California Constitution. The ADL's defense, accepted by the court in
1994, is that the Jewish defense organization is, collectively, a
'journalist' and, therefore, can legally engage in information-gathering
activities regardless of the source."

The White Van Were Israelis Detained on Sept. 11 Spies?, ABC News,
June 21, 2002 "Maria, who asked us not to use her last name, had a view
of the World Trade Center from her New Jersey apartment building ... But
as she watched the disaster, something else caught her eye. Maria says
she saw three young men kneeling on the roof of a white van in the
parking lot of her apartment building ... The men were taking video or
photos of themselves with the World Trade Center burning in the
background, she said. What struck Maria were the expressions on the
men's faces. 'They were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked
to me. I thought it was very strange,' she said. She found the behavior
so suspicious that she wrote down the license plate number of the van
and called the police. Before long, the FBI was also on the scene, and a
statewide bulletin was issued on the van. The plate number was traced to
a van owned by a company called Urban Moving ... A police officer pulled
the van over, finding five men, between 22 and 27 years old, in the
vehicle. The men were taken out of the van at gunpoint and handcuffed by
police. The arresting officers said they saw a lot that aroused their
suspicion about the men. One of the passengers had $4,700 in cash hidden
in his sock. Another was carrying two foreign passports. A box cutter
was found in the van. But perhaps the biggest surprise for the officers
came when the five men identified themselves as Israeli citizens ... The
driver of the van, Sivan Kurzberg, told the officers, 'We are Israeli.
We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The
Palestinians are the problem.' The other passengers were his brother
Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner and Omer Marmari. When the men
were transferred to jail, the case was transferred out of the FBI's
Criminal Division, and into the bureau's Foreign Counterintelligence
Section, which is responsible for espionage cases, ABCNEWS has learned.
One reason for the shift, sources told ABCNEWS, was that the FBI
believed Urban Moving may have been providing cover for an Israeli
intelligence operation. After the five men were arrested, the FBI got a
warrant and searched Urban Moving's Weehawken, N.J., offices. The FBI
searched Urban Moving's offices for several hours, removing boxes of
documents and a dozen computer hard drives. The FBI also questioned
Urban Moving's owner. His attorney insists that his client answered all
of the FBI's questions. But when FBI agents tried to interview him again
a few days later, he was gone. Three months later 2020's cameras
photographed the inside of Urban Moving, and it looked as if the
business had been shut down in a big hurry. Cell phones were lying
around; office phones were still connected; and the property of dozens
of clients remained in the warehouse. The owner had also cleared out of
his New Jersey home, put it up for sale and returned with his family to
Israel ... The five Israelis were held at the Metropolitan Detention
Center in Brooklyn, ostensibly for overstaying their tourist visas and
working in the United States illegally. Two weeks after their arrest, an
immigration judge ordered them to be deported. But sources told ABCNEWS
that FBI and CIA officials in Washington put a hold on the case. The
five men were held in detention for more than two months. Some of them
were placed in solitary confinement for 40 days, and some of them were
given as many as seven lie-detector tests ... Since their arrest, plenty
of speculation has swirled about the case, and what the five men were
doing that morning. Eventually, The Forward, a respected Jewish
newspaper in New York, reported the FBI concluded that two of the men
were Israeli intelligence operatives. Vince Cannistraro, a former chief
of operations for counterterrorism with the CIA who is now a consultant
for ABCNEWS, said federal authorities' interest in the case was
heightened when some of the men's names were found in a search of a
national intelligence database. Israeli Intelligence ... According to
Cannistraro, many people in the U.S. intelligence community believed
that some of the men arrested were working for Israeli intelligence ...
For the FBI, deciphering the truth from the five Israelis proved to be
difficult. One of them, Paul Kurzberg, refused to take a lie-detector
test for 10 weeks — then failed it, according to his lawyer. Another of
his lawyers told us Kurzberg had been reluctant to take the test because
he had once worked for Israeli intelligence in another country. Sources
say the Israelis were targeting these fund-raising networks because they
were thought to be channeling money to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, groups
that are responsible for most of the suicide ... Despite the denials,
sources tell ABCNEWS there is still debate within the FBI over whether
or not the young men were spies. Many U.S. government officials still
believe that some of them were on a mission for Israeli intelligence ...
Sources also said that even if the men were spies, there is no evidence
to conclude they had advance knowledge of the terrorist attacks on Sept.
11 ... But no one has been able to find a good explanation for why they
may have been smiling with the towers of the World Trade Center burning
in the background."

Suspected Israeli Spies Held By U.S., Fox News, December 12, 2001
"Some 60 Israelis, who federal investigators have said are part of a
long-running effort to spy on American government officials, are among
the hundreds of foreigners detained since the Sept. 11 terror attacks,
Fox News has learned. The Israelis, a handful of whom are described as
active Israeli military or intelligence operatives, have been detained
on immigration charges or under the new Patriot Anti-Terrorism Law.
Federal investigators said some of them failed polygraph questions
inquiring about alleged surveillance activities against and in the
United States. There is no indication the Israelis were involved in the
Sept. 11 attacks, but investigators suspect that they may have gathered
intelligence about the attacks in advance and not shared it. A highly
placed investigator told Fox News there are 'tie-ins,' but when asked
for details flatly refused to describe them. 'Evidence linking these
Israelis to 9-11 is classified, I cannot tell you about evidence that
has been gathered. It is classified information,' the source said."

Mossad - The World's Most Efficient Killing Machine, by Gordon
Thomas, Rense.com, December 9, 2002 "Rafi Eitan, the legendary former
Operations Chief of Mossad told me when we sat together in his living
room in a north Tel Aviv suburb: 'I always tried to kill when I could
see the whites of a person's eyes. So I could see the fear. Smell it on
his breath. Sometimes I used my hands. A knife, or a silenced gun. I
never felt a moment's regret over a killing.' Meir Amit, when he had
been director of Mossad, later insisted 'we are like the official
hangman or the doctor on Death Row who administers the lethal injection.
Our actions are all endorsed by the State of Israel. When Mossad kills
it is not breaking the law. It is fulfilling a sentence sanctioned by
the prime minister of the day' ... [Dagan, the tenth man to head Mossad]
would allow them to use proscribed nerve toxins. Dum-dum bullets. Ways
of killing that not even the Mafia, the former KGB or China's secret
service use ... Every person with proven field experience was on a plane
to Kenya within an hour of the [recent] massacre ... They were the men
and women of kidon, Mossad's ultra-secret assassination unit. Their sole
job in Mombasa was to find and kill the perpetrators of the massacre:
those behind the three bombers who had gone to their deaths laughing.
The kidon would kill the planners of the massacre after they had traced
them to their lair - wherever it was. It might take months - as it had
with avenging the murder of the Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich
Olympics. But the kidon would find the men behind the Mombasa outrage
and kill them. They would use a small laboratory of poisons, sealed in
vials until the moment came to strike. They had long and short-blade
knives. Piano wire to strangle. Explosives no bigger than a throat
lozenge capable fo blowing off a person's head. An arsenal of guns:
short-barrel pistols, sniper rifles with a mile killing range. The team
chosen to go to Mombasa had local language skills. They could pass for
Arabs or for Indian traders. Between them, they spoke Swahili and other
dialects. They dressed the part; they looked the part. They also
understood the closed language of their world. They had learned how to
memorise fibres - precise physical descriptions of people. Neviof , how
to break into an office, a bedroom, or any other given target and plant
listening bugs - or a bomb. Masluh, the skill of shaking off a tail. The
women had learned how to use their sex. To be ever ready to sleep with
someone to obtain vital information ...'We try to never use the same
method twice. Our technicians spend all their time devising new ways to
kill,' a Mossad source told me last week."

Maxwell Killed by Mossad: New Book, New York Post, October 25, 2002
"'Robert Maxwell, Israel's Superspy,' to be published in December by
Carroll and Graf, claims Mossad decided to get rid of Maxwell because he
was threatening to expose his knowledge of Israeli secrets unless he
received Israeli help in propping up his failing businesses. Maxwell's
sudden death at sea in November 1991 off the Canary Islands brought
about the collapse of his worldwide publishing empire and triggered
theories ranging from suicide, murder or accident. Maxwell - who owned
the Daily News at the time - disappeared overboard just as the complex
web of financial deals keeping his businesses afloat was beginning to
unravel and a few weeks after U.S. investigative journalist Seymour
Hersh published a book claiming Maxwell had close ties with the Israeli
secret services. The new book, by British thriller writer Gordon Thomas
and Irish journalist Martin Dillon, is based on interviews with former
Mossad agents and chiefs."

By Way of Deception. Israel Pulls a Fast One and Gets Caught, by
Justin Raimondo, Etherzone, December 13, 2002 "Ever since 9/11, the
Israeli government and its American amen corner have been making the
point that Israel's fight is now America's fight, and this argument has
met with some success ... Congress is practically Israeli-occupied
territory, and the Bushies are in their back pocket: however, there are
still some elements of the American public who have not been brought to
heel, and this, we are told, shows that 'Israel has cause for concern.'
It seems that only half of the 'influentials' – professionals in the
media, politics, and academia, and others who regularly follow the news
– take the Israel-can-do-no-wrong line. The Israelis and their American
supporters find this worrisome, as well they should. In spite of a
constant drumbeat of pro-Israel propaganda, a well-organized cadre of
American boosters, and the slavish support of our government, still a
great many Americans are able to think clearly and critically about our
troublesome 'ally.' As [Israeli newspaper] Ha'aretz puts it: " 'For
every individual that supports Israel, there is another who opposes it.
This is happening at time when the Palestinians are at a disadvantage in
public relations, when the president has openly declared his support for
Israel and Israel's political lobby is at its height.' Those numbers are
bound to get worse as news of the latest Israeli caper hits the
headlines. It really wasn't such a hot idea for the Mossad to recruit
Palestinians into a phony Al Qaeda cell in Gaza. It was too easy to
trace the cell-phone calls and emails back to Israel, as well as Germany
and Lebanon. Aside from that, however, there was something a little
fishy about their recruitment methods, such as this message cited by ABC
News (via Reuters): 'After receiving reports from your brothers in the
area about your good morals and Islamic beliefs...we appeal to you to
work within the ranks of the mujahideen (Muslim fighters) and we will
support you with money and weapons. Call us at this number...and
identify yourself as Abu Anas. The telephone call should be made between
three and five in the afternoon... After you read the letter and
understand its content, burn it. ' (Signed), Your brother and humble
slave of God, Osama bin Laden' ... Israel's great achievement in the
political and diplomatic realm has been to draw the unleashed anger of
the American giant away from the perpetrators of 9/11 and toward its own
enemies: Saddam Hussein, Hamas, and the fictitious 'Islamic Al-Qaeda of
Palestine,' which exists only 'by way of deception,' to borrow a phrase
from the official motto of the Mossad. 'By way of deception, thou shalt
do war' – a principle the Israelis have always lived up to. Juxtaposed
against the mounting evidence – a recent series of reports in the German
and British media depict Mossad agents in the U.S. living 'next door to
Mohammed Atta' – the exposure of this 'false flag' operation draws the
curtain on the terrorist enigma. This demonstrates that an Israeli
connection to the worst terrorist atrocity in our history is not an
'urban myth,' as one Justice Department spokesperson put it, but a
sinister and increasingly likely possibility. In all the columns I've
written on this subject, my thesis has been limited in scope. I've said
only that the Israelis had a certain amount of foreknowledge – to what
degree is not known – and failed to warn us. Not that they were behind
9/11. Nor am I saying that now. But I have a question: If the Israelis
are running phony 'Al Qaeda' cells in Palestine and Lebanon, why not in
South Florida, or New York?"

'Misuse of Canada's identity' questioned Israeli spy operation, by
Stewart Bell, National Post, December 24, 2002 "A senior Cabinet
official questioned the head of Israel's security service about
allegations Israeli undercover agents posed as Canadians during an
operation to assassinate a Palestinian terrorist leader, newly released
documents show. Although Ottawa has said publicly it was convinced all
along the spy claims were false, internal documents obtained yesterday
show the matter has continued to concern the government and has been the
subject of behind-the-scenes diplomacy. In a confidential report,
officials said they were concerned about 'other countries' intelligence
services misusing Canada's identity' and that 'such misuse endangers
Canadians travelling around the world and undermines the integrity of
Canadian passports.' Ronald Bilodeau, the Privy Council Office security
and intelligence co-ordinator and Cabinet assistant secretary, met on
Oct. 1 with the head of the Israeli Security Agency, whose spies
allegedly used false Canadian identities during the operation in Gaza
... Israel has denied the claims. But the papers show Ottawa was worried
about being linked to a spy operation and a botched assassination that
killed 14 bystanders, nine of them children. The allegations surfaced in
August, when Mr. Zatmeh publicly detailed how he was lured into becoming
an Israeli informant by agents who told him they were Canadians and
could help him immigrate. Mr. Zatmeh said he was recruited by three
'Canadian' agents who brought him to the Canadian embassy in Tel Aviv
before coercing him into helping them, with doctored photos that showed
him with naked women ... Sept. 4 they were satisfied the claims were
false. However, hours after the Post report on Sept. 5, John McNee,
assistant deputy minister for Africa and the Mideast, discussed the
matter with Haim Divon, Israel's ambassador to Canada."

Mossad linked to slaying of arms man, The Mercury (South Africa),
January 3, 2003 "The Israeli foreign spy agency Mossad was behind the
1990 assassination in Brussels of a Canadian engineer who helped the
South African apartheid military develop its G5 155mm howitzer artillery
cannon, it was reported on Thursday. Belgian police had known 'for
several weeks' that Mossad was involved in the shooting on March 22 1990
of Gerald Bull, the Canadian newspaper La Derniere Heure said. Bull has
also been implicated in Iraq's drive to build a 'supergun' ... The
bullet-riddled body of Bull, 62, was found in the entrance hall of his
Brussels home just before the Canadian was about to furnish Iraq with a
cannon capable of firing shells up to 1 500km, the paper said. Mossad
was suspected at the time, along with the CIA and Iranian intelligence,
but the Belgian police investigation failed to make any headway. But
investigators had recently been given information 'originating from a
former British possession in Central America' - possibly Belize - that
pointed the finger at a Mossad marksman, La Derniere Heure quoted a
prosecutor as saying. The assassin had long been in possession of a
jewel which Bull always wore but which was missing from the engineer's
body, the newspaper said. Bull's assassination coincided with the
seizure of large metal tubes in several countries, including Britain,
Greece and Italy, which were allegedly destined for the Iraqi supergun."

Dutch tapping room not kosher, C'T, January 3, 2003 [This article is
a translation of the Dutch article Nederlandse tapkamers niet kosjer
that will appear in c't 2003-01, which will be available in the shops on
december 19, 2002] "According to anonymous sources within the Dutch
intelligence community, all tapping equipment of the Dutch intelligence
services and half the tapping equipment of the national police force, is
insecure and is leaking information to Israel. How difficult is it to
make a back-door in the Dutch Transport of Intercepted IP Traffic[1]
system? The discussion focusses on the tapping installations for
telephony and internet delivered to the government in the last few years
by the Israeli company Verint [2]. This company was called
Comverse-Infosys [3] until half a year ago, but was quickly renamed when
the FBI started several investigations against it and arrested some of
its employees in the US on suspicion of espionage. (See pulled FoxNews
stories, Politech, Cryptome or Google). People within the Dutch
government got worried too. Especially because they had been warned as
early as 1998 about the possible back-doors in the tapping equipment.
The ex-ministers of interior ('Binnenlandse Zaken'), Peper and de Vries,
could not comment. The minister of Justice at the time, Korthals Altes,
was asked to report to parliament in december 2001, where he stated that
the security measures meet the required level and that an investigation
would be started if this, after all, was not the case. No investigation
followed. In april 2002, Kolkert, procecutor in-chief of the Court of
Appeals in Den Bosch, demanded clarification in a letter sent to Stein,
the state procecutor ('landelijk officier van justitie') and responsible
for interception matters. Stein stated that there are no problems ...
The insiders at the AIVD [the Dutch intelligence agency] and the tapping
room were interviewed by the radio program of the EO[11]. According to
them, the Dutch government and Comverse have a gentlemen's agreement
that the Dutch government would get the Comverse systems for a very
reduced price and in exchange the Israelis would get full access to all
tapped information. The systems still ended up being more expensive than
rejected competitors' quotes. The Comverse maintanance contract alone
apparently costs more then the installation itself, according to the
anonymous sources. Since the leaks seem to be disguised as maintenance,
one could say that the Dutch government is actually paying the cost of
foreign intelligence against the Dutch state. Israeli Comverse employees
apparently show up in the tapping rooms on a very regular basis for
maintanance, since no Dutch are allowed to touch the equipment. The
radio program further stated that the maintanance is done using their
own Hebrew keyboards and language. They leave the tapping rooms with
filled MO-discs and no-one from the Dutch government has any idea what
the Comverse people are doing. To make things yet worse, Comverse can
dial-in to the tapping room equipment at all times. The possible
criminal nature of Comverse and their overpricing are not the only
problems. A comparison of the Comverse tapping records with billing
records of KPN, the largest Dutch telco, shows that 20% of the calls
that should be tapped, are not tapped at all. The Dutch government still
keeps buying Comverse equipment. On november 26, a day after the EO
radio program was broadcasted, three political parties, D'66, GroenLinks
and SP asked questions to the government in parliamant. The current
minister of interior, Remkens, answered that the chance of the tapping
rooms leaking information is small, but not zero ... Therefore, the
Israelis don't need to copy entire phone conversations or all internet
traffic of a user from within the tapping room, but can simply monitor
the encrypted traffic that is sent to the tapping room. Having the
cryptographic key to the data, they then decrypt it at their leisure. If
any nation has the technical skills and knowledge to pull this off, it
is Israel." [More about this story]

9/11 "Conspiracies" and the Defactualisation of Analysis: How
Ideologues on the Left and Right Theorise Vacuously to Support Baseless
Supposition, Institute for Policy Research and Development "Whitewashing
the Israeli Mossad. There are other examples of this. Let us take, for
instance, their two Mossad-related 'conspiracy theories': 6. The plot
was actually organized by the Mossad. 7. The Mossad knew about the plot,
but did nothing, hoping that the massive deaths would mobilize public
support for Israel’s war on the Palestinians. By bluntly stating two
variations of the possibility that the Israeli Mossad had some sort of
connection/involvement in the September 11 terrorist attacks, and then
dismissing them wholesale, Shalom and Albert seem to be suggesting that
as far as 'the left' is concerned, any attempt to investigate the
evidence of an Israeli connection to 9/11 is inherently illegitimate.
But by assuming from the outset, without basis, that the idea of an
Israeli connection is implausible, they actually demonstrate only their
ignorance of history. It is certainly well-documented, for example, that
Israel has quite regularly perpetrated terrorist attacks against its
U.S. and British benefactors. This is nothing new, as documented by U.S.
political commentator John Leonard in the Afterword to my 9/11 study,
The War on Freedom. Leonard shows that there is in fact a rich history
here, analysis of which discloses a consistent pattern of provocation.
Menachim Begin led the 1946 Zionist truck bombing of Jerusalem’s King
David Hotel, timed to spur British troop withdrawals and give Zionist
militias a free hand against the poorly armed Palestinians, taking the
lives of just under 100 British guests.[34] Such covert Israeli
intelligence operations have evolved into a sophisticated pillar of
state strategy, from amateur beginnings in the 1950’s, when the exploits
of some provocateurs became public. In the Lavon affair, Israeli
'private citizens' blew up American and British property in Egypt,
blaming it on the Muslim Brotherhood, but were caught by the police. The
bombing of synagogues in Iraq by Zionists inciting their brethren to
flee to Palestine also became public knowledge. The New Zealand Herald
cites the testimony of an ex-Mossad agent on the Achille Lauro
hijacking, who exposed the atrocity as an Israeli 'black propaganda
operation.' Does this, in itself, prove that the Israeli military
intelligence infrastructure was in some way involved in 9/11? Of course
not. But it proves propensity, since this infrastructure has a long
record of conducting terrorist attacks – not only against U.S. and
British targets but also against Jews (not to mention Palestinians).
What brings this propensity into the limelight of a proper contemporary
analysis of 9/11 are a number of facts, documented by Leonard in The War
on Freedom, proving beyond doubt the reality of some sort of dubious
Israeli involvement. Among the pertinent facts he plucks from the public
record, are the following. In the first of a four-part investigative
documentary TV series on the Israeli connection to 9/11, FOX News
correspondent Carl Cameron reported on how U.S. authorities had detained
active members of an Israeli spy ring operating in the U.S., believed by
authorities to be linked to the 9/11 attacks ... The Weekly Planet
reports that 'addresses of many' of the 'Arabs under scrutiny by the
U.S. government' systematically 'correspond to the specific areas where
the Israelis set up operations.' One extremely pertinent example is 'an
address for the Sept. 11 hijacking leader, Mohammad Atta,' which is
'3389 Sheridan St. in Hollywood, Fla., only a few blocks and a few
hundred feet from the address of some of the Israelis, at 4220
Sheridan.' The strange coordination between Atta and Israeli
intelligence operatives is not an isolated case. About a 'dozen
Israelis, including the alleged surveillance leader, had been based in
Hollywood, Fla., between January and June [2001] – quite possibly
watching Arabs living nearby who are suspected of providing logistical
support to Osama bin Laden’s network.' Indeed, ten of the 19 Al-Qaeda
hijackers lived in Florida, bolstering conclusions reported by a FOX
News reporter that 'the students-cum-spies might have gained advance
knowledge of aspects of the Sept. 11 terrorists' – or even worse, may
have been directly involved in some way."

[Israeli green light to kill Americans]. Israel to kill in U.S.,
allied nations, by Richard Sale, UPI, January 15, 2003 "Israel is
embarking upon a more aggressive approach to the war on terror that will
include staging targeted killings in the United States and other
friendly countries, former Israeli intelligence officials told United
Press International. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has forbidden
the practice until now, these sources said, speaking on condition of
anonymity. The Israeli statements were confirmed by more than a half
dozen U.S. foreign policy and intelligence officials in interviews with
UPI. With the appointment of Meir Dagan, the new director Israel's
Mossad secret intelligence service, Sharon is also preparing 'a huge
budget' increase for the spy agency as part of 'a tougher stance in
fighting global jihad (or holy war),' one Israeli official said. Since
Sharon became Israeli prime minister, Tel Aviv has mainly limited its
practice of targeted killings to the West Bank and Gaza because 'no one
wanted such operations on their territory,' a former Israeli
intelligence official said. Another former Israeli government official
said that under Sharon, 'diplomatic constraints have prevented the
Mossad from carrying out 'preventive operations' (targeted killings) on
the soil of friendly countries until now.' He said Sharon is 'reversing
that policy, even if it risks complications to Israel's bilateral
relations' ... A congressional staff member with deep knowledge of
intelligence matters said, 'I don't know on what basis we would be able
to protest Israel's actions.'"

Defender of the Jews, wherever they may be, By Yossi Shain and Ze'ev
Segal, Semit Times "In the current tense discussions both in Israel and
in the Jewish Diaspora concerning the new wave of anti-Semitism,
politicians and commentators alike have overlooked the legal dimension
of kinship responsibility (in the sense of kol Yisrael arevim ze laze)
that exists in the Israeli penal code. Section 13 of this code, enacted
in 1994, enshrines in law an express Israeli commitment to the
Diaspora-homeland security nexus. Section 13, part of a wider reform of
the code, granted Israeli courts jurisdiction over what is termed
'extra-territorial crimes,' that is, crimes committed outside Israel.
Section 13 is unique in the way it relates to what is defined in its
title as 'crimes against the state or against the Jewish People.'
Section 13 states that: 'Israeli criminal law will also apply to
offenses committed outside Israeli territory against: 1. The life of an
Israeli citizen, Israeli resident or public servant, his body, his
health, his freedom, or his property, because he is one of the above. 2.
The life of a Jew, his body, his health, or his property, because he is
a Jew, or the property of a Jewish institution, because it is Jewish.'
In this section, Israel defined in explicit terms the connection between
the Diaspora and the State of Israel as the state of the Jewish people
... By enacting the section on the 'Security of the Jews,' the State of
Israel expressed its commitment to protect all Jews regardless of their
citizenship and their countries of domicile, as if they were citizens of
the state and as if the crimes committed against them were committed
within Israel's state borders ... According to this (weaker) principle,
a state may apply its criminal laws to those who harm its citizens or
residents when they are outside its territorial bounds. This principle
rests on the state's obligation to protect its citizens, even when they
are outside its sovereign domain. It is also based on the personal (kin)
connection to the state ... In 1994, when the Knesset added the
'Security of the Jews' clause, it established a new extraterritorial
principle, an additional connection that makes possible the application
of Israeli criminal norms outside the borders of the state. The
significance of the clause is that the State of Israel sees the
protection of all Jews as one of its supreme responsibilities and
considers every Jew, wherever he/she may reside, to be covered by its
legal protection ... The explanatory remarks said: 'Likewise it should
be emphasized that special protection is granted in Section 13(b)(2) to
the life, health, freedom or property of a Jew, because he is a Jew, and
that this is without any other connection to the State of Israel ...
This is an expression of the State of Israel's existence as the State of
the Jewish people' ... The practical significance of the 'Security of
the Jews' clause is that Israeli courts have jurisdiction over acts
committed by foreigners against Jews because of their Jewishness. This
means that from the point of view of the State of Israel, there is no
substantive difference whether anti-Semitic offenses are committed
inside or outside of Israel. In other words, in contrast to every other
offense committed against Israeli citizens or Jews outside of Israel,
and for which the court is not ordinarily empowered to judge, when an
offense is motivated by anti-Semitism, the court has full jurisdiction.
In addition, the conferment of judicial jurisdiction on an Israeli
court, and the treatment of the offense as if it was committed within
the borders of Israel, provides the State of Israel the authority to
demand the extradition of the offender ... To the best of our knowledge,
the 'Security of the Jews' clause has yet to be activated. This in no
way diminishes the declarative and ideological importance of this law.
It cannot be seen as beyond the realm of possibility that in the future,
in certain circumstances, the law will cease to be merely words and will
become a living and breathing reality. At this time when a foul wave of
attacks is raging against Jews, their property, their symbols and their
institutions, attacks that have reached such worrisome dimensions, it
seems to us proper to create awareness of this unique clause in the
Israeli penal code and to encourage public debate, both in Israel and in
the Diaspora, regarding it." Prof. Shain and Prof. Segal are on the

editor. Prof. Shain is also a professor of government at Georgetown
University.

The most sensational expression of the dual loyalty issue in America
in recent years was the 1987 case of Jonathan Pollard, an American-born
Jew who worked in a sensitive position in the U.S. Navy. Pollard became
a spy for the Israeli government and passed along more than 800 "top
secret" documents to his "first loyalty." For seventeen months he had
been in daily contact with Israeli co-conspirators, two of whom were
given military promotions in Israel after Pollard's spying concluded.
[BOOKBINDER, p. 130] The United States government prosecutor in the
case, Joseph di Genova, stated that Pollard's spying "was the largest
physical compromise of United States classified information in the
twentieth century." The Defense Secretary at the time of Pollard's
arrest, Caspar Weinberger, wrote a 46-page document to the Federal
Court, noting that he "could not conceive of greater harm to national
security' than Pollard's deeds. [FITCHETT, J., p. 1]At the first news of
the Pollard case, an American Jewish Committee member in Washington DC
warned that "if it was perceived in America that we had come to the
defense of Pollard because he's a Jew, our credibility as a Jewish
community would be down to zero overnight and Israel would be the
loser." [BOOKBINDER, p. 132]

But as the story about the Jewish American spy unraveled, it didn't
turn out to be as threatening to the Jewish community as some has
feared. After all, one of the most disturbing aspects of the whole
Pollard affair was that so few Americans had any grasp of what was going
on in the case. A New York Times/CBS poll in 1987 was undertaken one
month after Pollard's sentencing and attendant news publicity about
military promotions for two Israeli liaisons who aided in Pollard's
spying. "A very surprising finding," says Hyman Bookbinder, "was the
amount of general ignorance of the Pollard case. Only 18% of American
non-Jews knew that it was Israel for whom Pollard had spied. 13% thought
it had been the Soviet Union!" [BOOKBINDER, p. 137] That same year saw
no cut in America's economic aid to Israel "despite the Federal budget
crisis that required protracted negotiations and cuts in many domestic
programs. The full $3 billion for Israel in military and economic aid,
the same as the preceding year, was approved -- all of it outright
grant." [BOOKBINDER, p.]

Within a few years the proclamation could be heard in the Jewish
community that Pollard was sentenced to prison for so long, not for his
crime, but because of anti-Semitism. [DERSHOWITZ, p. 309] "Israel must
become intimately involved in the Jonathan Pollard case," the (New York)
Jewish Week editorialized in 1991, "Israel's founders envisioned a state
that would protect any Jew, wherever, who suffered from anti-Semitism.
Pollard is unquestionably such a victim." [JEWISH WEEK, 5-31-91, p. 24]
"Grass roots Jews reacted with mixed and complex emotions," says Alan
Dershowitz, Pollard's lawyer, " .... But some Jews were ...
understanding of, if not sympathetic with, a Jewish zealot who put
Israeli survival -- at least as he perceived it -- before the
bureaucratic niceties of the [United States] classification system ...
[DERSHOWITZ, p. 285] ... Momentum began to build slowly on Pollard's
behalf in both Israel and the United States. There was still no public
criticism [of Pollard's sentence] by the Israeli government or by the
major Jewish organizations. But the [Jewish] mood was changing
perceptibly in Pollard's favor." [DERSHOWITZ, p. 304] Amidst the
"changes" was a 1990 supportive statement for leniency towards Pollard
signed by the American Jewish Congress and the West Coast B'nai B'rith.
Further support came from prominent Jewish public figures, Eli Wiesel
and Arthur Hertzberg, a former President of the World Jewish Congress --
Philip Klutznick, the leaders of three major rabbinical seminaries, and
the Washington Board of Rabbis who asked the President to commute
Pollard's sentence. [GINZBURG, p. 217] In January 1996 the state of
Israel awarded Pollack, still imprisoned, formal Israeli citizenship.
"Pollack's lawyers," noted the Boston Globe, "hope the Israeli
government will act to free him the same as it does prisoners of war and
soldiers missing in action." [BOSGLO, 1-25-96] (It wasn't until 1998
that Israel formally admitted Pollard spied for them).

By late 1997 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed to
have raised the issue of Pollard's release to Israel with President
Clinton on three occasions, and for the first time an Israeli official
-- Immigration Absorption Minister Yuli Edelstein -- visited Pollard in
prison. In December 1997 Netanyahu's "diaspora affairs adviser," Bobby
Brown, declared that "the time for mercy has come ... The feeling
throughout Israel is that we should do whatever we can to try and help
bring about the American decision to free him." [AIN, S, p. 35] (This
reflected Israeli public opinion. A newspaper poll found that 90% of
those surveyed in the Jewish nation thought their country should help
Pollard and his wife, who was also implicated, in a lesser degree, in
the spying. [FRANKEL, p. 218] One innovative tact in Pollard's defense
in the American Jewish community is to change a defense into an assault,
charging that not only was the convict's long prison sentence motivated
by anti-Semitism, but that Israel was entitled to whatever information
he stole from the U.S. military. In a 1998 issue of the Jewish Journal
of Los Angeles, Anne Roiphe appealed to fellow Jews, saying

"Maybe we haven't found the smoking gun [of anti-Semitism], but most
of us believe in some way [Pollard's] unequal treatment, this odd matter
of why Israel didn't have the information Pollard gave them, is related
to anti-Semitism." [ROIPHE, Jewish Leaders, p. 8]

An extremely rare voice in the Jewish community was that of Joseph
Aaron:

"The Jewish community's behavior [about the Pollard case] has been
shameful. Almost all Jews, and even more sickeningly, almost all Jewish
organizations have taken up Pollard's cause. They have called for his
release and have either stated or implied that anti-Semitism is keeping
him in jail ... Now you have to believe that every top American official
-- Democrat or Republican, civilian and military, executive branch and
legislative -- is an anti-Semite or you've got to recognize that Pollard
did such overwhelming harm that all agree he must be punished by staying
in prison the rest of his life. Still, most American Jews call for his
release ... how many Jews have I heard say, 'Well, he was doing it for
Israel' -- as if that made it OK or at least not so bad, as if doing it
for Israel is any kind of excuse or explanation or factor." [AARON, J.,
2000, p. 21]

A few years later after Pollard, a Jewish army engineer, David
Tenenbaum admitted to passing along classified information to an Israeli
officer at the United States Army Tank Automotive and Armament Command
in the Detroit area. [JEWISH BULLETIN, Inter] In fact, from the mid
1960s to mid 1980s there have been 40 formal United States
investigations into Americans working for Israel. [FINDLEY, p. 125] By
1963, notes Seymour Hersh, American officials felt that "extensive
penetration of the United States government [by spies for Israel] needed
to be curbed." [HERSH, S., p. 162]

A 1979 CIA report noted that "Israelis devote a considerable
proportion of their covert operations to obtaining scientific and
technical intelligence. This has included attempts to penetrate certain
classified defense projects in the United States and other Western
nations." [GREEN, S, p. 253] In 1971, for instance, a Swiss court
sentenced a Jewish-Swiss engineer, Alfred Frauenknecht, to four and a
half years in prison, "but only after he had transferred to Mossad
[Israel's CIA] agents some 200,000 blueprints and the specifications for
the precise machine tools used in the Mirage's [the French-Swiss
military jet] construction." [BLACK/MORRIS, p. 235]

In 2001, Shawn Pine, a Jewish reserve officer in the U. S. Army,
charged anti-Semitism when he was stripped of his security clearance and
was forced "to give up command of an intelligence unit." Why? Pine, born
in America, emigrated to Israel and served in its army in the late
1970s. He returned to the U.S., went back to college, and served for
nine years in the U.S. Army. Bouncing back to Israel in 1995, he studied
at Hebrew University and served part time in the Israel Defense Forces.
As the Jewish Telegraphic Agency put it: "Anti-Israel feelings may be
'endemic' in the U.S. Army's intelligence, Pine believes. 'When they see
a Jew, they see Jonathan Pollard,' he said." [SAMBER, S., 10-29-01]

Victor Ostrovsky, a former Israeli Mossad officer and secret agent,
left that organization because of moral conscience. In his 1990 book, By
Way of Deception: The Making and Unmaking of a Mossad Officer, Ostrovsky
reported that about two dozen Israeli agents are "actively spying,
recruiting, organizing and carrying out covert activities, mainly in New
York and Washington, which they refer to as their playground."
[OSTROVSKY, p. 269]

Throughout the world, many Jewish citizens of other nations in all
walks of life function as extensions of Israel's CIA. They are called,
in Hebrew, sayanim. ("Our greatest advantage," noted Mossad official
Shmuel Toledano, in reviewing his career in the Israeli spy agency, "was
always that we had people who could pass for any nationality. Arabs,
Germans, whatever." [BLACK/MORRIS, p. 191] ) These sayanim, says
Ostrovsky

"are a unique and important part of the Mossad's operation. Sayanim
-- assistants -- must be 100 per cent Jewish. They live abroad, and
though they are not Israeli citizens, many are reached through their
relatives in Israel ... There are thousands of sayanim around the world.
In London alone there are about 2,000 who are active, and another 5,000
on the [Mossad] list. They fulfill many different roles. A car sayan,
for example, running a rental agency, could help the Mossad get a car
without having to complete the usual documentation. An apartment sayan
would find accommodation without raising suspicions, a bank sayan could
get you money if you needed it in the middle of the night, a doctor
sayan would treat a bullet wound without reporting it to police, and so
on. The idea is to have a pool of people available when needed who can
provide services but will keep quiet about them out of loyalty to the
cause ... One thing you know for sure is that even if a Jewish person
knows it is the Mossad, he might not agree to work with you -- but he
won't turn you in. You have at your disposal a nonrisk recruitment
system that actually gives you a pool of millions of Jewish people to
tap from outside your own borders ... The one problem with the system is
that the Mossad does not seem to care how devastating it could be to the
status of the Jewish people in the diaspora if it was known."
[OSTROVSKY, p. 86-87]

In an unprecedented action, at the request of the state of Israel in
1990, an American judge banned publication of Victor Ostrovsky's book
(from which the above quotation is excerpted) until the New York State
Supreme Court Appellate Division rescinded the censorship. "The Israeli
government," noted the Jewish Week, "claimed the book could imperil
Mossad agents by blowing their cover." [JEWISH WEEK, 9-21-90, p. 20] In
1995 Ostrowsky sued a Canadian television station that interviewed an
Israeli journalist, Yosef Lapid, who proclaimed on air that he hoped "a
decent Jew in Canada" would assassinate the telltale former Mossad
member. [KEZWER, G., 2-12-95, p. 8] Ostrovsky's house in Canada was also
burned down.

Loyal Jews of various nations work in the service Mossad. In 1999,
for example, the Jerusalem Report reported an interview it had with
former Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev's son:

JR: "Israel gave the CIA a copy of your father's famous speech
denouncing Stalin, delivered behind closed doors at the 20th Party
Congress in 1956. How did the [Israeli] Mossad get a hold of it?"

Sergei K. : "The daughter of a Polish party leader had a Jewish
boyfriend, and that boy worked for the Mossad. The boyfriend found a
copy of the speech on the Polish leader's desk and 'borrowed' it for a
while." [JERUSALEM REPORT, 9-13-99]

One such sayan, New York-based Jewish American Howard Schack, even
wrote a book about his adventures as a volunteer for Mossad, entitled A
Spy in Canaan. My Secret Life as a Jewish-American Businessman Spying
for Israel in Arab Lands. "What did I," he wondered one day, "

"a middle-aged Jewish-American businessman, have to offer [Israel]?
The next day as I sat at my desk in my construction company I realized
that before me lay something that might prove useful to Israel. Heaped
on my desk were plans and specifications for an offshore naval expansion
program in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf that had been put out for bids
by Saudi Arabia. These plans had come to me quite routinely. My firm had
exactly the experience needed to carry out portions of the project.
Reviewing the plans, I wondered if the government of Israel was aware of
them ... I had had dealings with with foreign governments that took me
all over the globe, bringing me in contact with hundreds of executives
who did business worldwide, especially in the Middle East." [SCHACK, H..
1993, p. 7]

Schack -- member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Shriners and Kiwanis
clubs, and other community organizations [SCHACK, H., 1993, p. 17] --
contacted the Israeli consulate in Washington DC, offering his espionage
services for Israel. "I conduct business in the Middle East," he
explained to a consular official, "I have access to projects such as
public buildings and massive capital development projects from Kuwait to
Libya. My credentials permit me to work intimately with Western firms
that have construction contracts in those countries." [SCHACK, H., 1993,
p. 8] Schack was soon assigned to a Mossad "handler" and was even
provided a spy camera.

From the very formation of the modern state of Israel, American
Jewish sayanim have aided the Jewish state at high administrative
levels. A good example was a Jewish American 'mole' in the United States
veteran's bureaucracy. Thousands of American Jews served in the Israeli
military during the founding of the Israeli state in 1947-48, despite a
United States State Department decree noting that those who enter
foreign armies "cease to be entitled recognition as [U.S.] citizens
during the period of such service," and that they would lose their
American passports. [GREEN, p. 52] Nonetheless, in 1948 a Unites States
Security Group of Army Intelligence report noted that

"There presently exists among [branches of Israel's armed forces] a
plan to recruit former [U.S., almost all Jewish] army officers ... It
was reported that someone in the Pentagon who had access to [classified]
officers' AGO (Adjutant General's Office) files and who is making
available to these organizations the names of former officers thus
qualified." [GREEN, p. 53]

This Pentagon source was identified as Colonel Elliot A. Niles, "an
ardent Zionist, formerly a high official of B'nai B'rith." His brother,
David, was an aide to President Harry S. Truman, "one of two or three
most influential persons in the White House on Middle East policy
matters." [GREEN, p. 54]

Meanwhile, while American Jews can vociferously condemn with
indignation the well-earned suspicions of their dual national loyalty
which they themselves (quite literally by the millions) have solidly
secured for their entire community, in Israel the standards for the
evaluation of entire groups of people is quite another matter, where the
actions of a handful of people indict as suspect a community of
millions. Take the case of Ze'ev Chafets, Head of Israel's Government
Press Office, an American Jew who immigrated to Israel, and his refusal
to allow Palestinian laborers to work in his Jerusalem home:

"Is it fair to discriminate against everyone for the crimes of the
few? Maybe not, but how do you tell the good guys from the terrorists?"
[FRANKEL, p. 239]

In the Middle East context, Michael Bar-Zohar notes the omnipresence
of Jewish spies (working for "Shai," the early Israeli spy organization)
during the British rule of Palestine:

"No one know when or how or where the ubiquitious, wraith-like
Intelligence Service of the Resistance originated. The British knew it
existed, but they could never put their finger on its nerve center,
identify its directors, or discover its headquarters in spite of the
fact that there were thousands of Shai agents. Nearly all the Jewish
police, military officers, and inspectors worked for Shai unbeknownst to
their British bosses and their Arab colleagues. The same was true of
postal workers, telephone operators, hotel chambermaids, cafe waiters,
newspapermen, secretaries, typists, and the Jewish department heads in
the British bureaucratic system. Shai also maintained networks of Arab
agents who reported on what went on in the headquarters of the Arab
tribes and in the secret meetings of influential Palestinians ... It was
seldom that a confidential telephone conversation, an exchange of
official correspondence, or a coded telegram escaped detection by the
invisible antennae of the Jewish espionage." [BAR-ZOHAR, M., 1972, p.
19-20]

In today's world, dual loyalty, ever encouraged in the Jewish
community (i.e., Jewish chauvinism and allegiance to Israel as an
inalienable American democratic right), left completely unchallenged by
all in modern American culture for fear of being branded an
'anti-Semite," has invariably given arrogant rise to nakedly hostile and
subversive statements by those obsessed with Jewish identity. Consider
the words of Jane Delynne, an American Jew who has reaped the benefits
of life in America with three published novels, an Elizabeth Janeway
Prize for Prose Writing, a Book of the Month Club Fellowship, and a New
York Foundation Fellowship for the Arts. Her forum, from which the
following is quoted, is not some obscure, fanatic off-the-edge cult
magazine, but a 1989 book on Jewish identity by powerhouse publisher
Random House, a fact that testifies to the disturbing acceptability of
this kind of attitude -- as a legitimate opinion -- in the Jewish
American community:

"The existence of Israel is the reaffirmation of Jews as the chosen
people ... Israel is suffused for me with a moral meaning absent from
the existence of any other nation in the world. If there was a war
between the United States and Israel, I would choose Israel. Sometimes I
think I am secretly glad for] its occasional brutality so that the world
will know there is a monster out there -- a monster who will never
forget [the Holocaust]. Although in general I believe in nuclear
disarmament, I am glad Israel has the atomic bomb, and the continued
existence of Israel is the only cause for which I consider it
justifiable to use nuclear weapons. Let me put this in its starkest and
ugliest light: I am not sure, but I believe that, if the choice were
between the survival of Israel and that of the remaining 4 or 6 billion
people of the world, I would choose the 4 million [Jews]." [DELYNN, p.
65]

Such a conviction merits serious attention for many reasons, among
them the fact that some American Jews were even instrumental in helping
Israel secretly develop its own arsenal of nuclear bombs. Seymour Hersh
notes that:

"A few American nuclear physicists were known to have emigrated to
Israel after World War II; one was a veteran of the Manhattan Project
[America's nuclear bomb-making effort] who had worked until 1956 in the
most sensitive areas of nuclear reactor design ... The CIA had even been
tipped off about the fact that Israel was raising large sums of money
for Dimona [the site of Israel's nuclear bomb center] from the American
Jewish community." [HERSH, p. 58]

Among the friends of Ernst David Bergmann (the "founder" of the
Israelli atom bomb, whose father was one of leading rabbis in Berlin)
was Lewis Strauss, the American Jewish chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission in the 1950s. Strauss knew well of Israel's clandestine
efforts to build nuclear weaponry. "Strauss's [Jewish] background and
his strong feelings about the Holocaust," notes Seymour Hersh, "cannot
be disregarded in analyzing why he did not tell anyone -- especially
[his AEC chairman predecessor and eventual head of the CIA] John McCone
-- about Dimona. Fair or not, the issue of 'dual loyalty' -- exemplified
by Strauss's actions -- has been a very real concern to the American
intelligence community since the creation of the state of Israel in
1948." [HERSH, p. 89]

Another Jewish American sometimes mentioned as possibly influential
in the development of Israel's nuclear bombs was Zalman Shapiro who had
a nuclear fuel processing business in Pennsylvania. Shapiro was an
activist in the Zionist Organization of America. In 1965, the Atomic
Energy Commission found that 200 pounds of enriched uranium was missing
from his company's storehouses. Nothing was ever proven, but the "CIA
... found Shapiro's longstanding ties to Israel to be of continuing
interest ... Shapiro, as the CIA and AEC never learned, did have a
secret life. He had met and befriended many of Israel's senior nuclear
scientists." [HERSH, S., p. 247]

"The dual loyalty question," wrote Anne Roiphe, like Jane DeLynne, in
a 1995 volume (which included articles by prominent Jewish authors,
including Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League), "is one that
anti-Semites use to isolate us politically in America. We're not
supposed to discuss it. But the truth is that ... we are only Americans
as long as America reins in its anti-Semites. We are Jews forever under
all circumstances." [ROIPHE/CHANES, p. 464]

"Under all circumstances." What conclusions should the reasonable,
impartial, and just observer make about the following Zionist volume
that is published every year in Israel? In English, it is entitled,
Who's Who in Israel and Jewish Personalities from All Over the World.
More bluntly, however, in its seminal version in Hebrew it is called,
Who's Who In Israel and In the Work for Israel Abroad. [See national
library online OCLC subfield] Those Jews listed in the volume who are
noted to be "working for Israel abroad" include:

* Frank Lautenberg, a Jewish American U.S. senator from New Jersey
and former chairman of the United Jewish Appeal * Paul Rose, a former
member of the British Parliament * Arne Melchoir, member of the Danish
Parliament (and former member of the Danish Zionist Federation) * Lionel
Stoleru, the Minister of Planning for the French government (and
chairman of the France-Israel Chamber of Commerce) * Simone Weil, member
of the French Parliament (and former president of that organization) *
Roy Welensky, former Prime Minister of the Federation of Rhodesia and
Nyassland * Stanley Clinton Davis, a former member of the Belgium
Parliament [A reader of this work states that he was a member of the
British Parliament] * Michael M. Fidler, former member of the British
Parliament * Benzion Netanyahu, professor of Judaic Studies at Cornell
University and father of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu *
Fredman Lincoln, president of the Royal Navy Reserve Officer's Club in
England * Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation
League * Stanley Fuld, retired chief judge for the state of New York *
Ezra Kolet, retired Joint Secretary and Chief Controller of Chartering
for the government of India

Others on the list include the Leonard Bernstein (the famous
composer), actor Theodore Bikel, Edgar Bronfman (chairman of the World
Jewish Congress), and others who live throughout the many countries of
the world as judges, newsmen, bankers, lawyers, dentists, real estate
moguls, librarians, and other distinguished careers. In 1987, nearly a
million adult American Jews (of a total man, woman, and child U.S.
population of approximately six million people) felt it important enough
to actually register to vote in that year's World Zionist Congress
elections. [GOLDBERG, JJ, 9-12-97] By the 1940s, 955,000 American Jews
(of a total man, woman, and child population of 5 million) "formally
belonged to one of dozens of Zionist organizations." [UROFSKY, M., 1978,
p. 126] Yet even those who are not formal members of such organizations
often have strong attachments to Zionist policies and the state of
Israel. As Kevin Avruch notes about studies of American Jews who
immigrated to Israel in the late 1960s and early 1970s: "Anywhere from
40 to 65 percent of all American olim [immigrants to Israel] were not
members of any Zionist organization in the United States ... It is
important to understand that commitment to Zionist ideology can exist
quite separate from a concomitant commitment to Zionist organizations."
[AVRUCH, K., 1981, p. 50]

In May 1997 the Washington Post ran a front page story reporting that
"the FBI has opened an investigation to determine whether a senior U.S.
government official has been passing highly sensitive information to the
Israeli government." [BOUSTANY, p. 1] The four month-old investigation
originated because of a conversation intercepted by the National
Security Agency, between a Washington-based Israeli intelligence officer
and a superior in Tel Aviv. Code named by the Israelis as "Mega," the
Post noted that the intercepted conversation led U.S. government
officials "to believe that Mega may be someone in the U.S. government
who has provided information to Israelis in the past." [BOUSTANY, p. 1]

Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Eliahu Ben-Elissor,
complained that "apparently there is someone [who leaked the story to
the press] who not only wants to besmirch the name of Israel, but also
perhaps to cause damage to the relations between Israel and America."
[GELLMAN, B, p. A20] Gerald Steinberg, a foreign policies professor at
Bar Elan University in Israel, noted the tension at the time between
President Clinton and Israeli prime minister Benyamin Netanyahu over
Israeli reluctance to concessions in the Clinton-brokered Arab-Israeli
peace process. "When American-Israeli relations already seem tense,"
noted Steinberg, "over a whole series of other issues, this is a killer
issue." [BOUSTANY, p. 1]

The Metro West Jewish News noted that "because the Mega story
appeared the same day the administration's top peace process diplomat,
Dennis Ross, was meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, it is
hard to escape the conclusion that the leak was intended to transmit a
message to the [Israeli] prime minister: Never mind the
pro-Israel/reluctant-to-take-on-the-Jews Clinton White House --we can
still get you.' [METRO-JEWISH NEWS, 5-15-97, p. 4] The Baltimore Jewish
News complained that the Washington Post printed, with the "Mega" story,
a side article about Israeli Ambassador Ben-Elissar, who spent ten years
working for Israel's CIA (the Mossad). [BESSER, J, SPYING, p. 34]
Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of
Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations told reporters that he
was confident the Mega story "will blow over." [MANN, C, p. 1] "There's
something almost sinister about the way this was reported," suggested
Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, "with
so little real information. And there's something disturbing about the
link the Post made to the Pollard case." [BESSER, J, Spy Charges, p. 1]

The "Mega" story was reported by no other major American newspaper
other than the Washington Post. And it suddenly evaporated from the Post
pages with no further exploration, or explanation, of the story.

British journalist Gordon Thomas, author of a 1999 volume on the
Mossad (based on over 100 hours of interviews with Mossad officials and
agents), observed that Mega

"may be more than one person. What's incredible is not so much that
they have an American mole at the highest level of the United States
government, but how this small [Israeli] intelligence community of about
1,200 people is able to mobilize sayanim [American Jewish agents for the
Mossad], and control the American media and the publishing worlds, and
get people like Barbara Streisand to spout 'Israel-first,
America-second' propaganda to the president of the United States over
the dinner table at the White House." [HOWE, R., 6-99, p. 47]

Jewish spies for Israel in the White House is an old, albeit hidden,
theme. In 1988, for instance, there was suggestion in some newspapers
that a complicated spy-prisoner deal was being worked out with Israel
which would "involve the U.S. halting further investigations in the
Jonathan Pollard case." "Pollard," note Jewish authors Ian Black and
Benny Morris, "was already serving a life sentence, but Israeli
officials were apparently worried that further inquiries might unearth
more spies in the heart of the United States administration."
[BLACK/MORRIS, p. 443] "Many in the United States intelligence
community," says Seymour Hersh, "... were convinced that [Pollard] had
one and perhaps many more accomplices inside the [U.S.] government --
men or women who were supplying Israel with the identification of highly
classified documents that Pollard could then be assigned to retrieve."
[HERSH, S., p. 307] Interestingly, by 1996, "both the Israeli ambassador
to the U.S. and the Israeli ambassador to Canada were former Mossad
officers." [OSTROVSKY, 1997, p. 37] (When George Bush assumed the
presidency in 2001, Jewish Congressman Anthony Weiner "immediately
beseeched" the new president "on his first workday as president' to
"grant Pollard clemency.") [JORDAN, M., 1-26-01]

In May 2000, a Washington DC paper, Insight on the News, after
interviewing over two dozen government officials about the problem,
described the results of its year long investigation into Israeli spying
in the American government:

"The FBI is probing an explosive foreign espionage operation that
could dwarf the other spy scandals plaguing the U.S. government. Insight
has learned that FBI counterintelligence is tracing a daring operation
to spy on high-level U.S. officials by hacking into supposedly secure
telephone networks. The espionage was facilitated, federal officials
say, by lax telephone-security procedures at the White House, State
Department and other high-level government offices and by Justice
Department unwillingness to seek an indictment against a suspect. The
espionage operation may have serious ramifications because the FBI has
identified Israel as the culprit." [WALLER/RODRIGUEZ, 2000]

As always, a "senior government official" remarked that "It is a
politically sensitive matter. I can't comment on it beyond telling you
that anything involving Israel on this particular matter is off-limits.
It's that hot." "When it has anything to do with Israel," said a former
U.S. intelligence officer, "it's something you just never want to poke
your nose into." "What price should Israel pay for this?" David Major,
former director of counterintelligence programs as the National Security
Council said to the paper, "My predictions are that there will be no
impact whatsoever. Do we put our heads in the sand or do we take it as a
wake-up call?" [WALLER/RODRIGUEZ, 2000]

In December 2001, a series of Fox News TV programs noted the
omnipresence of Israeli "ears" and Jewish power in shielding them from
scrutiny:

"Most directory assistance calls, and virtually all call records and
billing in the U.S. are done for the phone companies by Amdocs Ltd., an
Israeli-based private telecommunications company. Amdocs has contracts
with the 25 biggest phone companies in America, and more worldwide. The
White House and other secure government phone lines are protected, but
it is virtually impossible to make a call on normal phones without
generating an Amdocs record of it. In recent years, the FBI and other
government agencies have investigated Amdocs more than once. The firm
has repeatedly and adamantly denied any security breaches or wrongdoing.
But sources tell Fox News that in 1999, the super secret national
security agency, headquarted in northern Maryland, issued what's called
a Top Secret sensitive compartmentalized information report, TS/SCI,
warning that records of calls in the United States were getting into
foreign hands -- in Israel, in particular." [CAMERON, C., pt. 2,
12-14-01[

A second Fox News report notes:

"An Israeli-based company called Amdocs Ltd. ... generates the
computerized records and billing data for nearly early phone call made
in America ... [A second Israeli company, Comverse Infosys] provides
wiretapping for law enforcement ... Adding to the suspicions is the fact
that in Israel, Comverse works closely with the Israeli government, and
under special programs, gets reimbursed up to 50 percent of its research
and development costs by the Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade. But
investigators within the DEA, INS, and FBI have all told Fox News that
to pursue or even suggest Israeli spying thorugh Comverse is considered
career suicide." [CAMERON, C., pt. 3, 12-14-01]

Cameron's reports about Israeli spying amounted to four in total. He
was the first representative of a news organization to also report that
scores of Israeli nationals had been rounded up after the September 11
terrorist attack.

In fact, after the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, a vast
swirl of disturbing clues about Israeli spying in America began to
appear -- however delicately -- in small sections of the mass media.
(Most media sources -- overwhelmingly Jewish in control -- censored or
ignored the stories. The Fox News articles cited above, for example,
were withdrawn, with no explanation, from the company's web site within
a week. Fox is owned by non-Jewish, but ardently pro-Israel, Rupert
Murdoch). The well-known French magzine Le Monde, the French Online
Intelligence Letter, and antiwar.com were among the very, very few in
the vanguard of inquiry about Israeli spying in America. However guarded
about the implications of the widening Israeli spy story, the Associated
Press noted that

"Authorities have arrested and deported since early last year dozens
of young Israelis who represented themselves as art students in efforts
to gain access to restricted buildings and homes, U.S. officials said.
The Israelis tried to get inside sensitive federal office buildings and
the homes of government employees, officials said. A draft report from
the Drug Enforcement Administration -- which first characterized the
activities as suspicious -- said the youths' actions 'may well be an
organized intelligence-gathering activity ... The arrests, made in an
unspecified number of major U.S. cities from California to Florida, came
amid public warnings from U.S. intelligence agencies about suspicious
behavior by people posing as Israeli art students and 'attempting to
bypass facility security and enter federal buildings ... A Justice
Department official, who also asked not to be identified, and
investigators have been aware of some 'alleged linkage' between the
students and alleged espionage activities in the United States since
early 2001, and said authorities have made arrests in Dallas, Chicago,
San Diego and in South Florida." [BRIDIS, T., 3-6-02, LOS ANGELES TIMES]

These "art students" supposedly had links to the Universal Art Inc.
at 10873 NW 52nd St in Sunrise, Florida. Soon after their busts the
Sun-Sentinal noted that "there was no sign of a company called Universal
Art Inc ... No one answered the door, and several occupants had not
heard of the company. The comnpany's officers, Yitzchak Shish and Chava
Sagi, are not listed. The were not among those deported ..." [RAIMONDO,
J., 3-8-2002]

Le Monde outlined the entire Israel spy story as it then appeared,
connecting the Israeli phone companies and the vast spy network to
suggest that the Israelis obviously knew of the imminent attack on the
World Trade Center and Pentagon but did not warn the U.S. government.
(This ruthless Machiavellian attitude of course would guarantee a
greater American receptivity to Israeli views and needs if America
suffered a major terrorist blow). Le Monde, citing Online Intelligence
Letter evidence, estimates that about 120 Israeli spies were rounded up
in America, echoing on a much larger scale the results of an earlier
"secret" investigation "by division 5 of the FBI regarding Israeli
phone-tapping targeting the White House, the State Department and the
National Security Council." Le Monde contacted Fox News three times
asking for a "tape of the broadcast" by Carl Cameron but "it was never
done. On February 26, Fox told our correspondent in New York that
sending it posed 'a problem,' without being specific." [CYPEL, S.,
3-5-02] [online at: http://www.antiwar.com/rep/lemonde1.html]

Le Monde's own investigation further revealed that

"six of the intercepted 'students' had a cellular phone bought by an
Israeli ex-vice-consul in the United States ... Five at least were
intercepted in Hollywood [Florida], and two in Fort Lauderdale.
Hollywood is a town of 25,000 inhabitants north of Miami, close to Fort
Lauderdale. At least 10 of the 19 terrorists of 9/11 were residing in
Florida ... Four of the five members of the group that diverted American
Airlines flight number 11 ... resided all at various times in Hollywood
Florida ... This convergence is, inter alia, the origin of the American
conviction that one of the tasks of the Israeli 'students' would have
been to track the Al-Qaida terrorists on their territory, without
informing the federal authorities of the existence of the plot." [CYPEL,
S., 3-5-02]

Citing a classified U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) report
they had somehow acquired, the Online Intelligence web site names some
of the captured Israeli spies: Peer Segalovitz ("military registration
number 5087989"), Aran Ofek ("son of a renowned two-star general in the
Israeli army"), Michael Calmanovic ("headed up the team in Irving,
Texas), Hanan Serfaty (headed the Israeli team in Florida), Legum Yochai
(headed the Miami) operation. Spies intercepted a year ago included
Yaron Ohana, Ronen Kalfon, Zeev Cohen and Naor Topaz. "The network,"
wrote Online Intelligence, "targeted some of the most sensitive sites in
the U.S., such as Tanker Air Force Base near Oklahoma City." [RAIMONDO,
J., 3-8-02] [http://www.antiwar.com/justin/justincol.html]

As Justin Raimondo notes, citing Online Intelligence material:

"It seems these 'art
students' 'cultivated contacts with Israeli
information technology compnaies based in the US and serving as regular
suppliers to various U.S. federal agencies, such as Amdocs' and others.
The Fox News is cited, by Online Intelligence and Le Monde, and the
former even provides a convenient map of the Texas chapter of the 'art
students' underground appareatus, complete with not only names, but
arrival dates, corporate connections, when and where they were arrested,
and their specific functions in the Israeli military-intelligence
apparatus. How much more evidence do we need before the editorialists
and the pundits start calling government officials on their lies -- and
Congres begins an investigation?" [RAIMONDO, J., 3-8-02]

Amidst the many resultant US and Israeli government denials and
cover-up about this gigantic Israeli spy story, the Intelligence Online
organization's spokesman Guillaume Dasquie announced that

"It seems irresponsible for us to publish it, but if the denials go
on, we could put the report on our Internet site and in so doing
possibly blacken the names of the people most exposed ... The document
we have [the DEA report] we details not only the identities of the
members of this network, but also their activities in the Israeli army,
and even their serial numbers in the intelligence services, their
passport numbers and their validity, and their visas and their
validity." [RAIMONDO, J., 3-8-02]

Among those under suspicion as an Israeli spy in the heart of
American government in earlier years was Howard Teicher, a (Jewish)
National Security Council adviser. "Middle East experts in the State
Department," noted John Walcott of the Wall Street Journal, "the NSC
staff and some Washington think tanks conducted a tireless whispering
campaign against him, intimating that he was an Israeli agent."
"Teicher's life resembled that of tens of thousands of other young
American Jews," says the Jerusalem Post with no sense of irony in the
implications of that statement, "... [He] had a bar mitzva, went to Camp
Ramah, spent a summer in Israel at age 17, learned Hebrew in high school
and then in college worked in the fish pond at kibbutz Neveh Or [in
Israel]." [RODAN, 1994, p. 18]

Then, in 2001, there is the mysterious three paragraph article from
the Israeli newspaper Haaretz about Robert Philip Hanssen, an American
FBI agent turned Russian spy who represented "one of the worst cases of
espionage in the history of the United States." The Haaretz headline
proclaimed Israeli Angle in U.S. Spy Case Causes Worry in Jerusalem, and
then noted that "the recent confrontation between the United States and
Russia over the serious espionage case involving FBI agent Robert Philip
Hanssen has an Israel angle. This has been the subject of concern at the
highest political and security echelons in Jerusalem in the past few
days." [BENN, A., 4-4-01] The article explains nothing else at all about
the dimensions of this "Israeli angle," nor has any other media source
ever taken up the story.

May 16, 2006 -- Interesting confluence of activities
surround Sky Way's aircraft confiscated in Mexico with 5.5 tons of cocaine
and pre-911 Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) investigation of Israeli
art students involved in suspicious activities in Dallas-Fort Worth area
and Venice, Florida in close proximity to some of the 911 hijackers. That
DEA investigation was shut down on orders from Attorney General John
Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller.

This is a further clue that those who planned and carried out the 911
attacks were heavily involved with drug smuggling. These reportedly
include elements of Russian-Israeli-Ukrainian (RUIM) organized crime,
Latin American narco-dealers, U.S. operatives of the radical right-wing
Israeli Kach Party, Saudi billionaire businessmen and Pakistani
intermediaries, and political officials close to the GOP in Texas and
Florida. For example, links have been established between Red Sea
Management in Costa Rica, a company linked to the Sky Way cocaine plane,
and the Israeli embassy in San Jose.

Judicial
Inc. false flag: Lusitania Churchill, who was 1/2 Jewish, leaked
intelligence to Germany that Lusitania carried munitions, and then it was
sent it in a U-boat infested area. The ship was supposedly torpedoed, and
a massive bomb exploded, killing 1200. This set the stage for Wilson to
bring the USA into WW1, at a later date. Kristallnacht When government
officials were away, Jewish-paid thugs went on a rampage in Berlin and
some border towns. Bromberg massacre An estimated 58,000 German civilians
lost their lives in the massacres carried out prior to the 1939 invasion.
A website on the atrocity at Bromberg explains how Polish Bolshevik Jews
massacred 5,500 Germans, on one 'Bloody Sunday, in 1939. This was the
flashpoint for the Polish invasion. The King David Massacre July 22, 1946,
Jewish terrorists blew up a hotel, and killed 91 British soldiers, and
blamed the atrocity on Arabs. When later caught, they said the British had
a list of their Arab spies and were going to turn them over to the
Palestinians. The goal of the False Flag was to pit the British against
the Palestinians. Lavon affair: In 1954, Israeli agents working in Egypt
planted bombs in several buildings, including a United States diplomatic
facility, and left evidence behind implicating Arabs as the culprits. The
ruse would have worked, had not one of the bombs detonated prematurely,
allowing the Egyptians to capture and identify one of the bombers, which
in turn led to the round up of an Israeli spy ring. June 1968 Robert
Kennedy is shot by a PLO bus-boy named Sirhan Sirhan. Kennedy was running
for President, and would have sought revenge over the Israeli killing of
his brother. The use of a Palestinian was a little too 'Hollywood'. USS
Liberty ....June 6th, 1967 Six fighters, three torpedo boats and two
assault helicopters attacked the USS Liberty. There were 24 dead and 177
maimed. F-4 phantoms were enroute when President Johnson stopped the
rescue. Israel's plan was to blame Egypt, and have the US retaliate
against Egypt. September 5, 1972 Eight Palestinian "Black
September" terrorists seized 11 Israeli athletes in the Olympic
Village in Munich, West Germany. In the rescue attempt directed by Moshe
Dyan, using West German authorities, nine of the hostages, and five
terrorists were killed. Israel, and it's Jews, are once again the victim,
and the Palestinians are demons. 1976 ... Entebbe Israel faked a hijacking
to Kenya (Idi Imin was an Israeli puppet), and then pulled a rescue,
portraying themselves as elite commandos. Arabs looked like monsters and
the Israelis, having suffered countless persecutions, have decided to
fight back. 1982 Abu Nidal, who was an Israeli Black Ops agent, attacked
the Jewish Goldenberg's delicatessen in Paris. 6 were killed, and 20 were
wounded, of which 2 were Jewish. Pan Am flight 73 A 747 was enroute from
Karachi, to Frankfurt, to its final destination of New York. Four
hijackers took control of the airplane, and for the next 16 hours, they
held 379 passengers at gunpoint, while the pilots escaped. The plane was
stormed and 20 died. Beirut Marine barracks ...October 23,1983 241 Marines
died when a truck packed with explosives blew up a Marine barracks at
Beirut International Airport Achille Lauro ...1985 Abu Abbas, and 15
Arabs, took over a cruise ship and threw a Leon Klinghoffer overboard.
After two days of negotiations, the seajackers abandoned the ship. In this
False Flag, the Israelis turned world opinion against the Arabs, while
once again portraying themselves as victims. English policewoman
shot....1984 In 1984, Zionist Jews staged a protest outside the Libyan
embassy in London. Approximately 25 English Bobbies were used for crowd
control. During the middle of the demonstration, a shot rang out and a
female Bobby named Yvonne Fletcher was killed. The shot came from a
building used by the Mossad to spy on the Libyan embassy, but the
newspapers overlooked that and blamed Libya. Israel used this false flag
murder of Policewoman Fletcher, to turn world opinion against Libya. Alia
airliner...1985 Nidal's Black September group hit a jet with an SAM as it
took off from Athens airport. Although the rocket did not explode, it left
a hole in the fuselage. Lockerbie ....Dec 1988 Mossad blew up Pan AM 103
and blamed it on Libya. Unfortunately, the plane was late and blew up
overland, and all the evidence pointed towards Israel. Israel's goal was
to demonize the Muslims, and lay the groundwork for 9/11. AMIA ....1992
Mossad blew up AMIA and the Israeli Embassy in Argentina. Over 100 killed,
and practically all of them were Argentineans. Luxor, Egypt ... 1992 An
attack on Luxor, by militants, in which 58 foreigners, most of them Swiss,
were killed. Arabs blamed the Mossad. Israel destroyed Egyptian tourism,
and turned world opinion against Muslims. The Estonia 1994 Israel
suspected Estonia of selling nuclear technology to Iran so they sank a
passenger ship. Khobar Towers ...1996 Khobar Towers was bombed. It housed
an F-15 unit. Israel said it was done by Hezbollah, but US military
investigators linked it to Mossad. Karin-A...... 2000 israel intercepted a
ship, the Karin-A, in the Red Sea. The ship contained massive weapons,
which Israel claimed were destined for the PLO. A Jewish arms dealer set
it all up. As a result, world opinion turned on the PLO, and Israel's
slaughter of rock throwing Arab children wasn't questioned. Two airports
attacked .....1985 Terrorists of Abu Nidal's Black Sept. struck at the
Rome and Vienna airports. Nineteen were killed at Schwechat Airport and
three at the Rome airport. LaBelle Disco ......1986 As part of a Libya
False flag, the Mossad sent a series of false messages out of Tripoli,
talking of an impending attack. The Mossad then bombed a German Disco, the
Labelle Club, killing three and wounding 230. President Reagan was
convinced it was a Libyan attack, and retaliated by bombing Libya World
opinion turned against Libya. OKC Murrah Building ...1993 One of the
Mossad's American arms, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), was
concerned about the growth of Patriot movements such as Militias, so an
attack was staged using a Timothy McVeigh patsy, who was out of Elohim
City (Jewish-sponsored terror Mecca). The real brains behind the OKC
bombing were Andreas Strassmeir and Daniel Spiegelman, who were/are both
Jewish. The Zionists destroyed the Militia movement's credibility, and
brought the FBI down on them. Flight 840 TWA's Flight 840, a Boeing 727
flying from Rome to Athens with 115 passengers and seven crew members
aboard, had already begun its descent toward the Athens international
airport. Twenty minutes before landing, as it flew at 15,000 ft. over
Argos, a town near the ancient site of Mycenae, an explosion shook the
aircraft. Four were killed but 111 lived. Once again, Israel planted the
seed of "Arab" terrorism. World Trade Center.... 1993 In Dec.
1992, an Israeli soldier, Nissim Toledano, was kidnapped and killed. The
Israeli government rounded up 1600 members of Hamas, and deported 415 of
them to the no-mans land between the Israeli and Lebanese borders. In the
brutally inhospitable weather, these 415 Hamas members were stranded
without food and shelter. Furthermore, the Israeli authorities stopped any
humanitarian aid from reaching these people. With media focus on the
deportees, it triggered international outrage against Israel, which was
followed by international pressure on Israel that refused to go away. This
time, Israel had bit off more than it could chew. It was time to ‘deflect’
pressure off Israel. Israeli intelligence services went into action. A
detailed process that is too long to elaborate here, hatched a plan. In
the third week of February 1993, a truck bomb exploded in the basement of
the World Trade Center building. Muslims used as scapegoats took the blame
for it, while the real culprits were safely back in Israel. Thus world
opinion and pressure was shifted away from Israel. Port Arthur Massacre
.....1996 A 2-man Israeli Counter-Terrorism team killed 35 at a remote
tourist center at Port Arthur, Tasmania. The blame fell on a mentally
challenged man named Martin Bryant, who has served as the designated patsy
for this crime ever since. Zionists got their long-awaited draconian gun
control laws passed in Australia as a result of this massacre. Another
view, by some expert Australian researchers is here. Birmingham ....1998
Birmingham abortion clinic bombed and two people killed. As a result of
the bombing, abortion opponents were portrayed as lunatics, while the
Jewish-dominated abortion industry special laws passed to protect their
trade. Egyptair 990.....1999 israel planted a thermite bomb in the
aircraft tail. USS Cole Sayanims in the Pentagon had the Cole directed to
a part in Yemen, where Israeli agents had Arab patsies approach the Cole
with a small boat, in order to be seen by crewmen, while they attacked it
with a shape charge. Sept 11 .....2001 The most brazen of all Israeli
attacks. Flight 587....2001 Mossad blows up a Fl 587 out of NY, and it
crashes in Rockaway. Bali Bomb Mossad sets off a micro nuke on the island
of Bali, killing 182. Israel blamed the attack on Al Qaeda (which is
really an Israeli false flag patsy intel op), and the USA invaded Iraq.
Kenya missile .... 2002 In 2002, Israel claimed AL Qaeda shot two SAM
missiles at a jet on take-off. Israel used this incident to help lay the
groundwork for shooting down a US airliner. Manila.... 2003 Mossad planted
a bomb on a Manila ferry, killing 103. Israel blamed the attack on Al
Qaeda. CIA Bomb In Gaza....2003 Three CIA agents are traveling in Gaza,
when a Mossad bomb exploded. Palestinians were blamed for the attack.
Madrid Train ... 2002 Mossad killed 198 in the Madrid bomb blast. Al Queda
was blamed. 2004 Mossad bombed two airliners over Russia. Israel claimed
it was Al Qaeda. London bus 2005 Mossad bombed London buses The general
public is so suspicious, that Israel leaders have been told not to talk
publicly. The news media pushes the story it was Al Quada Pakistani
bombers. Juba the sniper Israel operatives in Iraq Columbine Judicial

The police say they have enough evidence to indict the private
investigators who have been arrested. Noam Sharvit 31 May 05 13:11

This morning, Aryeh Zeiff, CEO of cigarette company Dubek, filed a
complaint at the fraud division of the Israel Police Tel Aviv district,
claiming that his company had fallen victim to monitoring by an unknown
party. Zeiff had a computer with him, on which he said Trojan Horse
spyware had been installed. He said the investigators had asked him to
bring the computer for inspection. The march of people giving testimony
to the fraud division, both complainants and those being questioned,
will continue today. Managers of several companies suspected of
commissioning industrial espionage were due to present themselves to the
police this morning. A senior manager with responsibility for security
at Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), Eitan Shiron, has been questioned under caution.
Amdocs is suspected of spying on "Globes" journalist Gitit Pincas, who
used to cover the company.

Yesterday, Amdocs confirmed that it hired a private investigation
agency to help it stop leaks of information to outside organizations,
but the company denied that it had infiltrated computers at "Globes",
and claimed that it had explicitly instructed the investigation agency
that it must act within the law.

Last night, the police took away the computer used by Pincas at
Globes, after a Trojan horse was found on it. It is suspected that
Pincas's home computer was also infiltrated, but because its hard disk
had recently been re-formatted, no Trojan horse was found on it.

The police investigators believe that Pincas came under surveillance
when she covered Wall Street at "Ha'aretz's" business section "The
Marker". Certain articles Pincas published about Amdocs apparently
aroused the company's ire, and it started a comprehensive internal
investigation to find her sources. Amdocs warned its employees about
leaking information, and even forced some managers to undergo polygraph
tests.

The threats and polygraph tests failed to reveal anything. It is
alleged that Amdocs then tried other methods to uncover Pincas's
sources. About a year ago, Pincas left The Marker to work at Globes, and
the surveillance of her continued until last week.

Israeli hackers appear in British court Israeli hacking suspect held in
London Israeli police have questioned an executive from Amdocs, one of
Israel's largest companies, in connection with a growing corporate
espionage case that has shaken the country's business world. At least 19
people have been arrested in the affair, in which business executives
and private investigators allegedly used sophisticated software to
infiltrate competitors' computers. The investigation has implicated a
car importer, two mobile phone providers and the country's main
satellite television company, and police say they expect the
investigation to widen. Earlier this week, Israel's central bank chief,
Stanley Fischer, warned the affair could harm investment in the country.
Police officials said an Amdocs executive was questioned "under caution"
on Tuesday. The executive was identified by Israeli media as Eitan
Shiron, a security manager at the company. The company, which makes
customer-management software, confirmed it had used one of the private
investigators arrested in the case, but said it instructed the agency to
act in "full compliance" with the law. Advertisement
Advertisement"Amdocs is a law-abiding company that operates according to
and in the spirit of the highest legal and ethical standards," a company
statement said. It said it had hired the investigator to help "prevent
confidential and proprietary information from leaking to persons and
organisations outside the company." The Israeli business daily Globes
said Amdocs was suspected of spying on a journalist at the newspaper who
used to cover the company. Amdocs, whose shares trade on the New York
Stock Exchange, maintains its global headquarters in Chesterfield,
Missouri, but roughly half of its 10,000-strong workforce is based in
Israel.

... Free Republic excerpt, Amdocs The second round of the
investigation touched on Israeli companies providing administrative
services for American companies, which would conceal information. It was
aimed at the manufacturer of Amdocs software, placed on Wall Street,
which lists, for the 25 major telephone companies of the United States,
all the calls coming into and originating from American territory, as
well as the companies Nice and Comverse Infosys, the latter providing
the data-processing programs to American law enforcement agencies
authorized to eavesdrop on private phone conversations. Comverse is
suspected of having introduced into its systems of the catch gates in
order to intercept, record and store these wire-taps. This hardware
would render the listener himself listened to. Question to Cameron: Are
there reasons to believe the Israeli government is implicated?Answer:
No, none, but a classified top-secret investigation is underway DEA
wiretaps by Amdocs? WhatReallyHappened Mother of All Scandals 2001 It is
discovered that US drug agents’ communications have been penetrated.
Suspicion falls on two companies, AMDOCS and Comverse Infosys, both
owned by Israelis. AMDOCS generates billing data for most US phone
companies and is able to provide detailed logs of who is talking to
whom. Comverse Infosys builds the tapping equipment used by law
enforcement to eavesdrop on all American telephone calls, but suspicion
forms that Comverse, which gets half of its research and development
budget from the Israeli government, has built a back door into the
system that is being exploited by Israeli intelligence and that the
information gleaned on US drug interdiction efforts is finding its way
to drug smugglers. The investigation by the FBI leads to the exposure of
the largest foreign spy ring ever uncovered inside the United States,
operated by Israel. Half of the suspected spies have been arrested when
9-11 happens. On 9-11, 5 Israelis are arrested for dancing and cheering
while the World Trade Towers collapse. Supposedly employed by Urban
Moving Systems, the Israelis are caught with multiple passports and a
lot of cash. Two of them are later revealed to be Mossad. As witness
reports track the activity of the Israelis, it emerges that they were
seen at Liberty Park at the time of the first impact, suggesting a
foreknowledge of what was to come. The Israelis are interrogated, and
then eventually sent back to Israel. The owner of the moving company
used as a cover by the Mossad agents abandons his business and flees to
Israel. The United States Government then classifies all of the evidence
related to the Israeli agents and their connections to 9-11. All of this
is reported to the public via a four part story on Fox News by Carl
Cameron. Pressure from Jewish groups, primarily AIPAC, forces Fox News
to remove the story from their website. Two hours prior to the 9-11
attacks, Odigo, an Israeli company with offices just a few blocks from
the World Trade Towers, receives an advance warning via the internet.
The manager of the New York Office provides the FBI with the IP address
of the sender of the message, but the FBI does not follow up. 2001 The
FBI is investigating 5 Israeli moving companies as possible fronts for
Israeli intelligence. 2001 JDL’s Irv Rubin arrested for planning to bomb
a US Congressman. He dies before he can be brought to trial. 2002 The
DEA issues a report that Israeli spies, posing as art students, have
been trying to penetrate US Government offices. 2002 police near the
Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in southern Washington State stop a
suspicious truck and detain two Israelis, one of whom is illegally in
the United States. The two men were driving at high speed in a Ryder
rental truck, which they claimed had been used to "deliver furniture."
The next day, police discovered traces of TNT and RDX military-grade
plastic explosives inside the passenger cabin and on the steering wheel
of the vehicle. The FBI then announces that the tests that showed
explosives were “false positived” by cigarette smoke, a claim test
experts say is ridiculous. Based on an alibi provided by a woman, the
case is closed and the Israelis are handed over to INS to be sent back
to Israel. One week later, the woman who provided the alibi vanishes.
2003 The Police Chief of Cloudcroft stops a truck speeding through a
school zone. The drivers turn out to be Israelis with expired passports.
Claiming to be movers, the truck contains junk furniture and several
boxes. The Israelis are handed over to immigration. The contents of the
boxers are not revealed to the public.

consider them an ally, doesn't mean that there interests and ours are
identical and that our security isn't hurt by it. You alway question so
called MSM but accept without question a Jerusalem post article Because
it fits your agenda. FBI makes mistakes. Sometimes screws up. Sometimes
badly. Mostly honest people out there every day trying to prevent
another 9-11. Say thank you, don't ridicule. :: It is undoubtedly the
largest case of Israeli spying in the United States that has been made
public since 1986. In June 2001, an investigative report detailed the
activities of more than one-hundred Israeli agents, some presenting
themselves as fine arts students, others tied to Israeli high-tech
companies. All were challenged by the authorities, were questioned, and
a dozen of them are still imprisoned. One of their tasks was to track
the Al-Qaida terrorists on American territory; without informing the
federal authorities. Elements of this investigation, taken up by
American television Fox News, reinforce this thesis: that Israel did not
transmit to the United States all the evidence in its possession on the
preparation of the September 11 attacks. The latest issue of the Online
Intelligence Letter, a publication specializing in questions of
information, has revealed that a vast Israeli spy network operating on
American territory was dismantled. It is the biggest affair involving
the Mossad (the Israel's external security agency) in activity against
the United States since Jonathan Pollard, an employee of the US Navy,
was condemned to life in prison, in 1986, for spying for Israel's
benefit. Which was the real scale of this network? The facts evoked by
an American investigative report do not indicate if the network obtained
the information it was after, or if the authorities dismantled it in its
initial phase. According to the chief editor of Online Intelligence,
Guillaume Dasquié, this "vast network of Israeli intelligence agents was
neutralized by the counter-espionage services of the Department of
Justice." The Americans "would have apprehended or expelled close to 120
Israeli nationals. M. Dasquié gives a report on a 61-page review article
from June 2001, given to the American justice department by a task force
made up of agents of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) and some
INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) agents "who were associated
with the FBI and the office of investigation of the US Air Force.
Questioned by Le Monde, Will Glaspy, of the Public Affairs department of
the DEA, authenticated this report, and said the DEA "holds a copy.This
is not the first time that information relating to Israeli espionage
appeared in the United States since the Pollard affair. In June 1999,
the review Insight had described, at length, an investigation by
division 5 of the FBI regarding Israeli phone-tapping targeting the
White House, the State Department and the National Security Council.
After the attacks of September 11, very little detailed information had
come out about the arrest of some sixty Israelis. Finally, from the 11th
to the 14th of December 2001, the Fox News television channel aired an
investigation in four parts into Israeli espionage in the United States,
in the broadcast Carl Cameron Investigates The Israeli embassy in
Washington immediately responded by stating that it did not contain
anything true American Jewish organizations such JINSA (Jewish Institute
for National Security Affairs), AIPAC (America-Israel Political Action
Committee) and others, denounced the report as a machination. Fox
withdrew from its Internet site, one day and half after its posting, all
the material related to this investigation. Le Monde requested three
times with Fox News to provide a tape of the broadcast. It was never
done. On February 26, Fox told our correspondent in New York that
sending it posed a problem, without being specific. Le Monde, however
took note of the whole script in this investigation. Carl Cameron evokes
a vast secret investigation held there relating to 140 Israelis made to
pass for students of the University of Jerusalem or Betzalel Academy of
Arts [which have] unceasingly sought to come into contact with civil
servants and, according to a document, targeted and penetrated military
bases, dozens of buildings of the DEA, FBI, and others. His
investigation focused on two aspects. Firstly, could the Israelis have
had preliminary knowledge of the September 11 attacks and not informed
the Americans? His sources, explains Carl Cameron, tell him: The
principal question is how they could they have not known? On the screen,
his editor-in-chief tells him thus: Certain reports confirm that the
Mossad sent representatives to the United States to warn them, before
September 11, of the imminence of a major terrorist attack. That does
not go in the direction of an absence of warning. Cameron's response:
The problem is not the absence of warning, but the absence of useful
details compared to those which American services suspect Israel of
having held.The second round of the investigation touched on Israeli
companies providing administrative services for American companies,
which would conceal information. It was aimed at the manufacturer of
Amdocs software, placed on Wall Street, which lists, for the 25 major
telephone companies of the United States, all the calls coming into and
originating from American territory, as well as the companies Nice and
Comverse Infosys, the latter providing the data-processing programs to
American law enforcement agencies authorized to eavesdrop on private
phone conversations. Comverse is suspected of having introduced into its
systems of the catch gates in order to intercept, record and store these
wire-taps. This hardware would render the listener himself listened to.
Question to Cameron: Are there reasons to believe the Israeli government
is implicated?Answer: No, none, but a classified top-secret
investigation is underway. The broadcast had been shown beforehand to
the highest persons in charge of the CIA, the FBI, the NSA (the agency
in charge of phone-taps), the DEA and the American Justice Department,
none of which objected to its airing. The report submitted to the
American Justice Department, to which Le Monde had access, shows that
many of the "fine-arts students" suspected of illicit activity have a
military past in Israeli information or advanced technology units. Some
entered and left the United States on several occasions, remaining each
time for short periods. Several are related to the hi-tech Israeli
companies of Amdocs, Nice and Retalix. Challenged, a coed saw her
guarantee of $10,000 paid by an Israeli working at Amdocs. Questioned,
two others admitted being employed by Retalix.Le Monde obtained other
information not contained in this report. Six of the intercepted
"students" had a cellular telephone bought by an Israeli ex-vice-consul
in the United States. Two others, at an unspecified time, arrived in
Miami by direct flight from Hamburg, and went to the residence of an FBI
agent, to try to sell him artwork, left again for the Chicago airport to
go to the residence of an agent of the justice department, then again
took a plane directly for Toronto all in one day. More than a third of
these students who, according to the report, moved in at least 42
American cities, stated they resided in Florida. Five at least were
intercepted in Hollywood, and two in Fort Lauderdale. Hollywood is a
town of 25,000 inhabitants to the north of Miami, close to Fort
Lauderdale. At least 10 of the 19 terrorists of 9/11 were residing in
Florida.Four of the five members of the group that diverted American
Airlines flight number 11 Mohammed Atta, Abdulaziz Al-Omari, Walid and
Waïl Al-Shehri, as well as one of the five terrorists of United flight
175, Marwan Al-Shehhi resided all at various times in... Hollywood,
Florida. As for Ahmed Fayez, Ahmed and Hamza Al-Ghamdi and Mohand Al-Shehri,
who took over United flight 75, like Saïd Al-Ghamdi, Ahmed Al-Haznawi
and Ahmed Al-Nami, of United flight 93 which crashed September 11 in
Pennsylvania, and Nawaq Al-Hamzi, of AA flight 77 (crashed into the
Pentagon), they all at one time resided at Delray Beach, in the north of
Fort Lauderdale. This convergence is, inter alia, the origin of the
American conviction that one of the tasks of the Israeli students would
have been to track the Al-Qaida terrorists on their territory, without
informing the federal authorities of the existence of the plot.Two
enigmas remain. Why was the Israeli network a priority of drug
enforcement agents? An assumption: the DEA is the main American agency
inquiring into the money laundering. A network such as Al-Qaida used
dirty [funding], and the Talibans Afghanistan was the primary exporter
of opium in the world. Why this astonishing cover of false students
canvassers for poor artwork? The Israeli network seemed to hold lists of
names. Its members knew at which office or which private residence to
go. The objective was apparently to make contact, even for a short time.
According to an Israeli specialist in espionage, this story is a
ridiculous joke, and is not serious. Contacted, the services of the
Israeli Prime Minister still had not, as of Monday evening March 4,
answered our questions. The American Justice Department indicated to us
that a dozen of these students would still be imprisoned indefinitely,
and all the others had been released or deported. The FBI indicated to
us that it will not make any comment at this stage.The CIA, the FBI, the
DEA, the INS, the NSA, the Justice Department and the Pentagon have all
designated an investigator on this file.

National Drug Control Policy issues a National Security Alert describing “apparent
attempts by Israeli nationals to learn about government personnel and office

are apprehended later. [Drug Enforcement Agency, 6/2001] Entity Tags: “Israeli

Then, in 2001, there is the mysterious three paragraph article from
the Israeli newspaper Haaretz about Robert Philip Hanssen, an American
FBI agent turned Russian spy who represented "one of the worst cases of
espionage in the history of the United States." The Haaretz headline
proclaimed Israeli Angle in U.S. Spy Case Causes Worry in Jerusalem, and
then noted that "the recent confrontation between the United States and
Russia over the serious espionage case involving FBI agent Robert Philip
Hanssen has an Israel angle. This has been the subject of concern at the
highest political and security echelons in Jerusalem in the past few
days." [BENN, A., 4-4-01] The article explains nothing else at all about
the dimensions of this "Israeli angle," nor has any other media source
ever taken up the story.

Fox News had addressed the subject of Israeli spies in America after
the September 11 terrorist attacks:

"Since September 11, more than 60 Israelis have been arrested or
detained, either under the new patriot anti-terrorist law, or for
immigration violations. A handful of active Israeli military were among
those detained, according to investigators, who say some of the
detainees also failed polygraph questions when asked about alleged
surveillance activities against and in the United States. There is no
indication that the Israelis were involved in the 9/11 attacks, but
investigators suspect that the Israelis may have gathered intelligence
about the attacks in advance, and not shared it. A highly placed
investigatorsaid there are 'tie-ins' ... Numerous classified documents
obtained by Fox News indicate that even prior to September 11, as many
as 140 other Israelis had been deatined or arrested in a secretive and
sprawling investigation into suspected espionage by Israelis in the
United States." [CAMERON, C., pt. 1, 12-14-01]

What about the aforementioned CIA head John Deutch (and perhaps
others in his circle) as a very strong candidate for the Jewish-Israeli
"Mega" club? In 2000, a troubling story about him began to hit the
newsstands, revolving around an incident that happened as he was leaving
his CIA post in 1996. Deutch, who became Director of the CIA after
leaving his position as Deputy Secretary of Defense, was caught with
1,700 pages of CIA documents -- many secret, and classified -- on his
home computer, one that had also been a visitor to "high-risk" Internet
pornography sites. Members in Congress were not informed of Deutch's
security lapses until 1998 and not until the year 2000 did all this come
under public scrutiny. And he was afforded top-level Pentagon security
clearance until late 1999.

Deutch was known to be a problem earlier in his career when it came
to secret information. "According to a knowledgeable official who asked
not be identified," noted the (New Jersey) Record, "while Deutch was
serving as a senior Defense Department official [the number two in
command] in the early 1990s, he failed a polygraph test about his
handling of classified materials. The official said Pentagon security
officers were concerned because Deutch took highly classified material
home with him, but his security clearances were not revoked or
downgraded." [THE RECORD, 2-5-2000, p. A6]

An investigation of Deutch's information cache was undertaken by the
CIA Inspector General. The IG report, noted the New York Times,
"disclosed that just three days after Mr. Deutch learned that his
computer practices were under review, he deleted more than 1,000
classified files from his personal computers. The report also says that
Mr. Deutch declined to be interviewed by the CIA's security officials."
[RISEN, J., 2-12-2000] Deutch had been taking secret CIA information
home for years. As the Times notes, "according to the IG report, "Mr.
Deutch used unclassified MacIntosh computers for classified work through
his tenure as director. He chose not to conduct sensitive work on the
classified computer system at the CIA because he said he was afraid the
other CIA officials would see what he was writing, according to the
report." [RISEN, J., 2-12-2000]

The CIA investigators, noted a European paper, "became so frustrated
at the limits imposed on them that they concluded senior [CIA] officials
were protecting Mr. Deutch and wanted to wash their hands of the case."
[BRANSON, L., 2-2-2000, p. 12] "Mr. Deutch," said the New York Times,
"refused to be interviewed by the security staff and senior CIA
officials allowed him to avoid being questioned." [RISEN, J.] A number
of media members began calling Deutch's case a "cover-up." The CIA
didn't report Deutch's misdeeds to the Justice Department for over a
year. The CIA's Inspector General only did so in 1998 "after an agency
employee complained to the Inspector General's office that the inquiry
had not been properly handled." [RISEN, J., 2-12-2000] The Justice
Department declined to prosecute the former Director of the CIA.

The Deutch revelation, remarked a Scottish paper, "is particularly
embarrassing in the light of the high profile case of Los Alamos
scientist Wen Ho Lee, who is being held in jail without bail. He is
suspected of transferring secrets from the nuclear research base to the
Chinese. The charges against him so far are for exactly what Mr. Deutch
did: transferring files from work to his home computer." [BRANSON, L.,
2-2-2000, p. 12] Like Deutch, there was no hard evidence that Lee passed
along information to a foreign government, but Lee languished in
solitary confinement 23 hours a day as a suspected spy (imprisoned for
taken classified work home), while Deutch merely had his clearances to
enter CIA and Pentagon databases taken away.

It was even discovered that Deutch had helped a CIA official, Nora
Slatkin, get a job as a vice-president at CITIBANK while she was working
on the investigation of his breach of security case. [RISEN, J.,
2-12-2000, p. A10] In recent years Deutch has been a professor at MIT
and an adviser to weapons companies. He was paid over $240,000, for
example, in 1998-99 as a non-employee director at Raytheon and member of
that company's board of governors. [MCLAUGHLIN, T., 3-30-2000, p. 25] As
Bill Clinton left the White House in 2001, Clinton granted Deutch a full
pardon, surprising the CIA even as it continued its investigation.

In 1999, Iran tersely rejected the formal protests lodged by the
French minister of France "that the arrest [of 13 Iranian] Jews [on
accusations of spying for Israel] was intolerable." The ambassador
"summoned the Iranian ambassador [in France] to express France's anger."
[INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE, 6-22-99, p. 4] This small item meriting
international attention and formal French "outrage" bears further
scrutiny. Most such news reports on the subject neither itemized the
charges against the Jews, nor evidence for or against them. As always,
the reportage of such an occasion, with no context whatsoever, merely
encourages the reader to absorb between the lines evidence of yet
another case of endemic, irrational anti-Semitism. This time from Iran.
Yet there are strong historical contexts and precedents for such
accusation. Israel's Mossad was long prominent in the former Iranian
Shah's secret police network (See later chapter). As recently as March
1998 too, three Mossad agents made the news after trying to bug a Muslim
activist's home in London. Only a few days later another four Israeli
spy members were arrested in Switzerland after bugging another Lebanese
Muslim's home. These incidents, and the failed attempt to assassinate an
anti-Israel Hamas official in Jordan, forced the head of Mossad, Danny
Yatom, to resign. [MAHNAIMI, U., 1998]

And there has always been widespread Israeli spying on Arab
countries, using Israeli Jews who originally came from those very lands.
Take for example, Israel's original spying unit on Arabs called Shin Mem
18, [BLACK/MORRIS, p. 43] created for the "infiltration and implantation
of Israeli agents in Arab countries." [BLACK/MORRIS, p. 43]

Or take for example the case of Yolande Harmer, "born in Egypt to a
Turkish-Jewish mother," who" posed as a journalist in her home country
and took "on a succession of lovers, some of them simultaneously, mostly
from Egypt's rich and powerful and from the foreign diplomatic corps in
Cairo." [BLACK/MORRIS, p. 61]

In 1998, the Times of London noted the profoundly ruthless and
dedicated degree that Israeli espionage can go. In a newly-discovered
story, the paper revealed that "members of an Israeli undercover unit in
the 1950s went so far as to marry Muslim women and have children by them
to ward off suspicion ... The unit was designed for long-term espionage.
Its members, Sephardim from a variety of Arab countries, were taught to
speak in Palestinian accents ... Ironically, because they had been so
rigorously taught the Koran, some became teachers, which gave them
perfect cover for spying." [WALKER, C., 9-30-98] (So, when seemingly
ridiculous Polish communist-era "antisemitic and anti-Zionist
propaganda" proclaimed that "Jews had been instructed by their 'world
center' command post to marry Polish girls in order to gain influence
over the population and thus be able to pursue their subversive and
espionage activities more effectively," what are we to reasonably think
of it? [CHEMCINSKI, M., 1982, p. 217]

Other Israeli spying units (later blending into today's Mossad) using
indigenous Arab-speaking Jews included Shai (the Arab Division of the
Jewish Agency political department) and Palmach's "Arab Platoon." In the
1950s an Israeli spy, Major Avraham Dar, "recruited a group of Egyptian
Jewish youngsters and set up underground [Zionist] cells in Cairo and
Alexandria." [BLACK/MORRIS, p. 108] In 1954 "the [Jewish] Egyptian
network embarked on its bombing spree ... [However] a bomb went off
prematurely in the pocket of one of the group, Philip Natanson, as he
was about to enter the Rio Cinema in Alexandria. Natanson was arrested
and that night the Egyptian security police arrested the rest of the
network: Dr. Moshe Marzuk, Shmuel Azzar, Marcelle Ninio, Victor Levi,
Robert Dassa, Meir Za'afran, Meir Meynhas, Eli Ya'akov, and Azzar
Cohen." [BLACK/MORRIS, p. 111]

Quite possibly echoing the recent Jewish-Iranian spy accusation,
Israeli intelligence "activated a wide range of European contacts to try
to improve the treatment or obtain the release of the Cairo defendants.
Among those approached were French parliamentarians such as Coure de
Marville and Daniel Maier and leading British and French lawyers."
[BLACK/MORRIS, p. 113] The West German government was even persuaded to
act on behalf of one of the Israeli spies, Max Binnet, recognizing his
questionable German citizenship. "After his death," note Ian Black and
Benny Morris, "in a rare piece of inter-Arab intelligence cooperation,
the Iraqis informed Cairo that Binnet ... had been mentioned in the 1951
Mossad ring trial in Baghdad [regarding] the extensive spy network that
had operated in Iraq and Iran." [BLACK/MORRIS, p. 113] In 1965, in
another situation, Eli Cohn, born and raised in Egypt, was the "first
Israeli spy caught and executed as an Israeli." [BLACK/MORRIS, p. 48]

In Morocco, in the 1950s "hundreds of Jewish volunteers were
mobilized in a Mossad-led Jewish self-defense organization."
[BLACK/MORRIS, p. 176] "Over 100 [Jewish Moroccans] went abroad --
mostly to Israel -- for military training, though some were trained in
Morocco itself: cells and 'units' were organized in the main towns
(eventually there were twelve local units); arms were bought and
dispensed in underground caches ... The members were trained in the uses
of pistols, sub-machine guns and knives. At its height [the Jewish
Moroccan secret cell] had 600 members (and in Algeria and Tunisia,
another 600 altogether)." [MORRIS/BLACK, p. 176]

Zionist intrigue in Eastern Europe? From the early years of the
Israeli state, note Ian Black and Benny Morris, "new Jewish immigrants
[to Israel] from behind the Iron Curtain, Israeli diplomatic missions,
and Jewish communities in Eastern Europe all served as valuable sources
of intelligence." [BLACK/MORRIS, p. 136]

In response to French parliamentary speaker Laurent Fabius' recent
call to release the imprisoned Iranian Jews before a trial, Iran's
Tehran Times responded, saying that "Mr. Fabius is probably under the
influence of Zionists." [AGENCE PRESSE FRANCE, 7-3-99] Fabius too is of
Jewish heritage.

1999's White House coddling of the Jewish lobbying empire and
international Zionist spy networks included the Islamic nation of Iran.
The (Jewish) Forward noted that "At last weekends G-7 talks in Germany,
President Clinton asked the Japanese government to refrain from
approving their third loan installment of $820 million to Iran until the
13 [Jewish] prisoners are freed." [SPENCE] These 13 Iranian Jews,
arrested and accused by Iran of spying for Israel (7 non-Jews arrested
in the alleged ring are rarely mentioned in the Western press), had not
even been yet been brought to trial to prove their guilt or innocence,
yet the American president was an active lobbyist for Jewish/Israeli
interests to ignore Iranian sovereignty and demand, pre-trial, all the
suspects' categorical freedom. Jewish American National Security Adviser
Sandy Berger wrote a formal letter to the Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish Organizations assuring them that the President
planned to "seek international assistance" in freeing the 13. The
Jerusalem Post noted the dimensions of international Jewish activism
about the issue, noting that an Israeli "Foreign Ministry spokeswoman
said Israel had approached practically every country with which it had
diplomatic relations and asked help for seeking the release of the
Iranian Jews." [KUTTLER, 6-18-99]

Iranian officials even revealed that some of the accused Jewish
prisoners had confessed that they spied for Israel. Nonetheless, U.S.
Secretary or State Madeline Albright announced that "We have made this
very clear that this is an unacceptable trial. There is absolutely no
reason for them to brought up on espionage charges." A prominent Iranian
religious leader, Mohammed Emami Kashani, responded to Albright, saying,
"You are a political leader, not a judicial official ... There are
international laws. Relations between the countries are based on laws
... Woman, you who are Secretary of State, on what logic have you based
your remarks? On what basis?" [AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE, 10-22-99]

Years earlier, as context for understanding such an international
Jewish pressure campaign, we may look to Morocco. In 1960 an
Israeli-sponsored "underground military cell" (as two Jewish scholars
describe it), consisting of about 600 people, was exposed among Jews in
that Arab land. Many were arrested. Israel then "foreswore secret
diplomacy," notes Ian Black and Benny Morris, "and launched a widespread
public campaign on behalf of Moroccan Jewry. U.S. President John Kennedy
sent a personal message to King Muhammad; a group of American
Congressmen threatened to table a bill to stop U.S. aid to Morocco
unless the "persecution" stopped. French President Charles de Gaulle was
also mobilized to exert pressure on [Morocco's capital] Rabat."
[BLACK/MORRIS, p. 179] The imprisoned Jews were eventually released. The
head of Israel's Mossad, Isser Harel, wrote at the time that "there is
no doubt that the [Moroccan] King's and the interior minister's latest
steps are a result of our actions and our information campaign around
the world." [BLACK/MORRIS, p. 179]

Trust No One: The Secret World of Sidney Reilly, sidneyreillyinfo
"The man best known as Sidney George Reilly-although he used many
names-spent his life in the shadows of international intrigue and
counted among his legion of allies, accomplices and victims the likes of
Winston Churchill, the mysterious Basil Zaharoff and Boris Savinkov.
Usually portrayed as a master spy, Reilly's real exploits exceeded
anything credited to Fleming's fictional Bond. The son of a Polish
Jewish family in Imperial Russia, he early embarked on an amazing,
daring and often bewildering career which led him to assume the personas
of an Anglo-Irish gentleman, an international arms-merchant and a
Bolshevik commissar among many others. He was a slightly different
person to every man who knew him and every woman who loved him. But
Reilly was as much a cunning master criminal as secret agent, amassing a
fortune by the ruthless bartering of influence and information. He was
used and feared by capitalists and commissars alike. Was he a dedicated
anti-communist, the Soviet's first "mole," or simply a bold and
unscrupulous con man?"

Double trouble, by Yossi Melman, Ha'aretz (Israel), January 22, 2003
"In Israel, too, all the units that run agents - in the Shin Bet
security service, in the intelligence wing of the Israel Defense Forces
and in the Mossad - also try to observe this secrecy rigorously.
However, in recent years, discipline has been growing lax and the names
of a number of agents have become public knowledge. This began at the
end of the 1980s, with hints that Rafat Ali al-Gamal, an Egyptian
citizen who pretended to be a Jew and immigrated to Israel at the behest
of Egyptian intelligence, was exposed by the Shin Bet, became a double
agent and turned into one of the best operatives in the intelligence
community. Later it was revealed that King Hussein of Jordan had met
secretly with then prime minister Golda Meir at the end of September,
1973, and warned her of the approaching war with Egypt and Syria.
Hussein was not an Israeli agent (in his youth, during the 1950s and the
1960s, he was a paid agent of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, as
were other leaders of Third World countries). His secret meetings with
Israeli leaders sprang from his understanding of his own interests and
those of his kingdom. But he definitely was a 'source,' an 'intelligence
asset' and what is called in professional jargon 'an agent of
influence.' Later on, following the assassination of Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin in November, 1995, there were those who leaked that
Avishai Raviv was a Shin Bet agent and also revealed his code name
"Champagne," which his runners used in the missions to aid him in
infiltrating the coteries of the extreme right. Now for the first time,
the Egyptian media, a month ago, has revealed what it calls one of the
most important assets the Mossad had in Egypt: the source who confirmed
in October, 1973 that a war was in the offing. A month ago, newspapers
in Egypt raised the question of whether Dr. Ashraf Marwan, a businessman
who is the son-in-law of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, was an Israeli
agent. In Israel, the name of the agent has never been exposed and, in
the discussion surrounding his activities, he is referred to as a
'senior agent' operated by the Mossad in Egypt, who supplied Israel with
important information including that regarding the outbreak of the Yom
Kippur War. The person behind the debate is Dr. Ahron (Roni) Bregman,
who has been living in Britain for many years and was involved several
years ago in the production of a BBC television series to mark Israel's
Jubilee ... Dr. Ashraf Marwan was born in 1944, the son of a respected
Egyptian family who studied in England and married Muna, Nasser's third
daughter, in the 1960s. The marriage brought him close to the
president's innermost circle. He was given the status and title of
roving ambassador, and set out on delicate diplomatic missions around
the world. In the media of the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the
1970s, he was mentioned as having served as bureau chief for the
presidency, and sometimes it was even noted that he was the coordinator
on behalf of the president with the Egyptian intelligence services.
According to these same sources, the senior agent was recruited by
Israel apparently in 1969. The surprising thing is that the agent
volunteered his services. One day, he walked into the Israeli Embassy in
Kensington in London and offered to provide information. The mission of
running him, according to these sources, was given to the Mossad. It is
possible to assume that a thorough background check of him was
conducted. ... ... The Mossad ... believed that the agent was not a
double agent, and that before the Yom Kippur war, he delivered the goods
for which he was recruited and run."

communication specialists, linguists, electronics and computer
specialists and entry level operatives (age 22-28) ... During last
couple of years it has begun paying special attention to Pakistan, Iran
and Central Asia ... In April 2001, the Mossad published a 'help wanted'
ad in the Israeli press seeking electronics engineers and computer
scientists for the Mossad technology unit. Since most Mossad operatives
come from hi tech fields, they do the most natural thing when they leave
Mossad i.e. they launch a start up company in IT, communications,
computers and other related fields. The 'Or' of this story launched a
successful company after leaving Mossad and his company is now reputedly
worth US $ 15 million and employs more than 70 highly qualified
personnel. Such persons usually move their operations to foreign
countries and besides making tons of money, continue serving their
motherland in hi tech fashion. Since most former operatives of Mossad
are hi tech specialists, it is not difficult for them to launch a start
up company and make it successful on its merit alone. While spreading
out into Central Asia, Pakistan and Iran, these operatives are likely to
arrive with proposals for companies which deal with IT solutions,
software engineering, computer and electronics hardware expertise,
communications and other related fields ... Janes information group, the
world's foremost source on intelligence information, reported in July
2001 that 'The Indian spy agency RAW and the Israeli spy agency Mossad
have created 'four new agencies' to infiltrate Pakistan to target
important religious and military personalities, journalists, judges,
lawyers and bureaucrats. In addition, bombs would be exploded in trains,
railway stations, bridges, bus stations, cinemas, hotels and mosques of
rival Islamic sects to incite sectarianism. Pakistani intelligence
agencies also said that RAW had constituted a plan to lure Pakistani men
between 20 and 30 years of age to visit India so that they could be
entrapped 'in cases of fake currency and subversion' and then be coerced
to spy for India' ... What is clear right now is that Indian RAW and
Israeli Mossad are collaborating extensively to curb the freedom
movement of Kashmir and destabilize Pakistan ... Under the euphemism of
'counter-terrorism', India is allowing Israel to establish a huge spy
establishment in India which will, interalia, unearth and monitor
'Islamic fundamentalist' individuals and groups for elimination by extra
judicial process or by cold-blooded murder and kidnapping ... One of the
greatest abilities of Mossad is that it can mobilize US resources
anywhere to protect Israeli interests. Now when Pakistan has already
allowed US forces to use its soil, air and intelligence, is not it
possible that Mossad’s clever brains workout a scenario and push the
American troops to do what the Mossad would like to do in Pakistan?
Think about it."

Mossad's chief gets agency set for action, Washington Times, February
10, 2003 "The Mossad, Israel's shadowy counterintelligence agency, is
revving up for a relentless campaign against what its tough-minded
chief, Meir Dagan, regards as the most serious threats to the Jewish
state — large-scale terrorism perpetrated by regional extremists, and
danger they may acquire weapons of mass destruction. The campaign will
be waged by means of state-of-the-art intelligence-gathering equipment,
including space satellites, which have been launched independently by
Israel, as well as shrewdly executed operations by agents able to avoid
compromising themselves or implicating their handlers. Mr. Dagan's
strategy has filtered beyond Mossad's top-secret headquarters, but the
precise tactics may never become known. Even if they are deduced,
described or revealed by parties at the scenes of impact, Israeli
officials will neither confirm them nor accept responsibility. Like his
political patron and wartime commander — Prime Minister Ariel Sharon —
Mr. Dagan, who was born Meir Huberman in 1945, is relatively fond of
using biblical writ, partly because Hebrew is his native language and
because his generation was taught to identify with the ancient
Israelites. ... Amir Oren, military and intelligence analyst for the
daily Ha'aretz, said, "Twelve years ago, after the Iraqi invasion of
Kuwait, then-Capt. Dagan ... initiated far-reaching operations deep
inside Iraq' ... By the late 1990s, when he served as Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu's adviser on counterterrorism, Mr. Dagan implemented
Israel's 'targeted killings' of suspected terrorists by hand-held
weapons, air-to-ground missiles, explosive charges set off by
remote-control devices and other lethal means ... Israel's adventures in
Lebanon are almost as much a trauma for Mr. Dagan as they have been for
Mr. Sharon. Their frustrating experiences there are cited by Ha'aretz's
Mr. Oren. 'Mr. Sharon expects Mr. Dagan to infuse the Mossad with heavy
doses of aggressiveness, duplicity and fiendishness,' he wrote in
Ha'aretz. 'These have been Mr. Dagan's personal characteristics
throughout his career.'"

Soviet Mata Hari. That was she who stole US nuclear secrets, Pravda
(Russisa), February 12, 2003 "Yelizaveta Zarubina realized dozens of
fruitful operations [as a Russian spy], recruited hundreds of sources.
She new 6 languages, and was a person of great culture and simply a
beautiful women who attracted men. At the same time she was modest, even
shy. In the USSR, she was the only foreigner who rose to the rank of KGB
colonel. The name of Yelizaveta Zarubina became known after World War
II, when the US press published some unclassified archive documents. At
the same time, some versions appeared which disclosed sensational
details of the Soviet intelligence operations in the US during WW II. In
the 1990s, when memoirs of some intelligence workers were published, the
role of Yelizaveta Zarubina in obtaining US nuclear bomb secrets became
known. In particular, she established contacts with Robert Oppenheimer,
before he became the leader of the Manhattan Project. Today, Russian
intelligence still cannot declassify the original file of Yelizaveta
Zarubina: her activity was really very large-scale. Though, in the
museum of Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, there is an exposure of
Yelizaveta Zarubina. In official publications, some details of her
biography are either inexact, or they are absent at all. Information
about her is kept in closed party archives. So, who was Yelizaveta
Zarubina (Rosenzweig), called in our story Soviet Mata Hari? She was
born in North Bukovina, which was a part of Austrian-Hungarian Empire
and belonged after WW II to Romania. She was philologist and fluently
spoke Romanian, Russian, English, French, and German. Among her
relatives, there were prominent political and military figures who
suffered from Stalin’s repressive measures because of their independent
views or Jewish origin. Liza started to work for intelligence since
1919. She worked for some time in the secretariat of Soviet intelligence
founder Felix Dzerzinski. Her first husband was famous Blumkin, who
worked for Russian Special Commission and participated in annihilation
of German ambassador Mirbach in 1918. Moreover, Blumkin was a key figure
in the conspiracy of the Socialist-Revolutionist Party (SR) against
Vladimir Lenin. Later Blumkin came cap in hand to Dzerzinski, was
excused, and started to work for the Special Commission (ChK). In 1929,
Blumkin was the head of an illegal intelligence group in Turkey.
Fulfilling the Soviet government orders, he sold Hasid [Jewish
ultra-Orthodox] books from special funds of Lenin State Library. The
money was aimed for creation of a diversion terrorist unit to fight
against Great Britain in the Middle East. Blumkin kept some part of
money and handed it over to Lev Trotsky. Moreover, he was a kind of
messenger between him and his supporters in the USSR. When Liza learned
these facts, she reported them to the ChK leadership, and Blumkin was
arrested. Now Liza was single again. A charming girl, she easily
established contacts in different circles and gathered necessary
information. For her service purposes, she often changed her appearance.
Several years after her divorce, she married Vasily Zarubin,
professional secret service man. Since 1929, the couple started to
prepare for illegal work in France, where they lived as the Kocheks,
Czech merchants. The couple became legal in Denmark, then they go to
France. Some of their French contacts are still not opened, and some of
them are probably still actual. Some contacts, for example that ones in
German diplomatic corps in Paris, were actively used later, when fascist
came to power. Since December 1933, the Zarubins acted in the Hitler
Reich. That were they who recruited the Gestapo worker, Willy Lehman
(nick 'Breinbach'), who became a Soviet intelligence agent ... The
legendary Soviet spy woman died in 1987 as an aged woman, as a result of
an accident."

Israeli Spies Aided Feds In Readying 'Jihad' Case Mossad Key On
Al-Arian, [Jewish] Forward, February 28, 2003 "Intelligence supplied by
Israel played a key role in the indictment last week of University of
South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian on charges that he is a leader of
the Islamic Jihad Palestinian terrorist group, the Forward has learned.
An FBI delegation traveled to Israel late last year to collect
intelligence obtained by Israel during the mid-1990s, a former top
counterterrorist official said on condition of anonymity. 'The evidence
the U.S. government has is intelligence, much of it from the Israeli
government, relating to 1994 — when the Mossad had a penetration of
[Islamic Jihad] headquarters in Damascus,' the official said. 'Much of
the intelligence was turned over to the FBI on a recent visit to
Israel.' The FBI and the Justice Department would not comment. Jonathan
Peled, a spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, acknowledged that
Israel was cooperating with American authorities, although he said he
did not have specific knowledge about the Al-Arian case or of the FBI
visit. Matthew Levitt, a former FBI official now with the Washington
Institute for Near East Policy, a pro-Israel think tank, acknowledged
that 'Israel has every reason to be very forthcoming' on Islamic Jihad
and that he had 'heard about' the FBI trip. However, he stressed that
'there was no reason to assume that the indictment was not mostly based
on U.S. intelligence and police work,' essentially phone and fax
wiretaps started in 1994. Al-Arian, a tenured computer engineering
professor at the University of South Florida, was charged with
racketeering along with seven other people. In a 50-count indictment
unsealed last Thursday in Tampa, prosecutors accused the eight men of
conspiring since 1984 to support Islamic Jihad by helping finance and
organize suicide bombings in Israel. It is the first time an indictment
is centered on terrorist acts committed abroad."

the Office of Special Investigations in the Justice Department. He is
also a former executive director of the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee." Sher's "personal memoir" below makes it look like he was
rather tight with the Israeli spy world.] Isser Harel: A personal
memoir, by Neal M. Sher, Jewish World Review, March 5, 2003 "The people
of Israel indeed, Jews the world over have lost a genuine hero. Last
month, Isser Harel, the world-renowned spymaster and one of the founders
of the Mossad, died in Tel Aviv. Best known for planning and executing
the extraordinary capture of Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires in 1960 a
feat which made the whole world take notice of Israel's ingenuity and
capabilities Harel's contribution to the security of the fledgling State
of Israel cannot be overstated. As anyone who knew him or worked with
him will attest, he was, despite his diminutive size, a giant. I am
among the privileged who had an opportunity to work with or, to be
accurate, be counseled by the legendary Harel. In 1985, as the director
of the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations, I headed
the US team charged with searching for the infamous Josef Mengele (in
concert with the Israelis and Germans.) My first order of business was
to seek the advice of the man who had orchestrated the most daring of
Nazi hunts ... I MADE a point of meeting with Harel whenever I visited
Israel; he was as interested in the work of OSI as I was to soak up his
insights on the current state of affairs. During our regular lunches at
the Triana restaurant in Tel Aviv, I realized that I was in the company
of a larger-than-life hero of our people ... Rest in peace, my friend.
You have served your nation and people well."

Israel quietly playing key spy role, New York Daily News, March 29,
2003 "From a spy satellite orbiting overhead to clandestine operations
in western Iraq, Israel is a strong ally in the U.S.-led war against
Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. But it's mostly a silent partnership
because the Bush administration doesn't want to advertise Israel's help,
fearing a backlash among Arab nations - particularly key allies like
Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Behind the scenes, however, the Israelis
are heavily engaged. Their sophisticated Amos 4 satellite routinely
beams data to U.S. intelligence, and Israeli agents in Baghdad have
provided extremely sensitive intelligence, sources told the Daily News.
Israel has been particularly aggressive in the desert of western Iraq,
where its Sayeret Matkal commando force, in tandem with U.S. and
Australian special forces, has run covert operations hunting for Scud
missile launch sites."

Subject: Saddam is Alive, by Gordon Thomas,
yourmailinglistprovider.com (from globe-intel.net) "If [Saddam is]
alive, then Bush wants him to face justice in either an American
controlled court in Iraq – or a trial in the United States. Paul
Wolfowitz, US deputy secretary of defence, has indicated 'this is
personal for George – and he wants Saddam to face American justice for
his part in 9/11'. Helping Bush achieve that are the hardmen of the
intelligence world – Mossad’s spies. Not only have they been the only
spies on the ground during the Saddam regime – but they have also played
a vital role in the run up to, and during, the war with Iraq. It was
their intelligence which enabled Coalition troops to storm up into
Baghdad in record time. No other agency is so well-entrenched in the
Arab capitals of the region. Now, those agents, under the direction of
Mossad chief Meir Dagan, have reinforced the Mossad men already in Iraq.
They are part of an operation squad, codenamed Caesarea. Many are Iraqi
Jews. 'They can track as well as any Bedouin. They speak the desert
dialects. They eat, sleep and behave in every way like an Arab. That is
what makes them so unique', one of Dagan’s staff said. Years ago, Mossad
had an agent inside the inner circle of Syria’s leadership. The man, Eli
Cohen, time and again gave Tel Aviv vital forewarning of a Syrian
threat. Rafi Eitan, the former Operations Chief with Mossad, secreted a
spy into King Hussein of Jordan’s palace. 'Our man gave us information
that no other service had – not the CIA or MI6. Not anybody', Eitan
said. Unknown to Saddam, Mossad had an agent within the top echelon of
the Iraqi leadership. Last week, the spy managed to plant a homing
device in the briefcase of one of Saddam’s top aides when they met for a
dinner meeting at the al-Saa restaurant, in Baghdad’s Mansour district.
Over thirty of Iraq’s Special Security Organisation and senior military
intelligence officers had gathered in the expensive restaurant to hear
Saddam speak ... But, with that sixth sense for which he was renowned,
Saddam for as yet an unexplained reason became suspicious. He left the
restaurant – but ordered everybody else to remain present. Four minutes
later, 300,000 feet above the restaurant, US weapons officer Lt-Col Fred
Swan programmed the coordinates in his BI bomber."

[Defending Jewish spies:] A scary story of militants, FBI bungling,
Cleveland Plain Dealer, June 8, 2003 "Imagine you are a Jewish woman
living in the United States with your husband and children. On Friday
night, you and your family have a traditional Shabbat dinner. On
Saturday morning, you rise and don a chador, the black baglike garment
worn by many Muslim women in the Middle East. Under your clothing, you
have taped a small recording device to your skin. Your husband drops you
off a few blocks from your destination. At the door of a mosque, or
perhaps a convention center, you become an Arabic-speaking Muslim. It's
in your accent, your mannerisms, the thoughts you express. Then you walk
into the hall where people are calling for the murder of Jews, and you
turn on your recorder. This is what the anonymous author of 'Terrorist
Hunter' does routinely. Her book, part memoir, part investigative
reporting, can be breathless and disjointed, and its writing sometimes
amateurish. That shouldn't stop any would-be readers; its contents are
chilling. Born into a well-off Iraqi Jewish family, the author enjoyed
an idyllic childhood until one day shortly after Saddam Hussein's Baath
party seized power in 1968. Government henchmen broke down their door
and hauled her father off to prison, where they accused him of spying
for Israel. He was held and tortured for a year. His pregnant wife was
tortured in the next room so that he could hear her screams. A kangaroo
court found him guilty, and he was hanged in a public square along with
eight other Jews to the cheers of a half-million spectators. The author
fled with her family to neighboring Iran and then to Israel, where she
grew up and got married. Eventually, she, her husband and their children
moved to the United States, and the restless young housewife answered an
ad for employment at a research institute. Fast-forward a few months,
and Anonymous is deep into the infiltration of militant Islamic
organizations for her employer, which supplies intelligence to the U.S.
government. This is white-knuckle reading, as she tells of perspiration
loosening the tape holding her recorder in place, of slip-ups in
conversation, of having to sit passively while a Muslim scholar tells
his audience that Israelis make ashtrays from the skulls of Muslim
fetuses. But perhaps scarier than the hate spewed by these fanatics (who
seem far more numerous than most of us might suspect) is the downright
ineptitude, arrogance and grandstanding with which she says the FBI has
conducted its investigations of these groups and their activities. Not
only did they regularly ignore her reports and refuse to cooperate with
other government agencies, they began to investigate her. Anonymous'
anger at the FBI is not personal. It's the outrage of a nation,
expressed in one woman's voice, for every day that passes as the tangled
web of organized terrorists comes closer to accomplishing its goals,
while a bunch of bungling, bickering federal agents allow it to happen.
Is all of this exaggerated, or even untrue? It's impossible to say. The
author's anonymity might raise questions of credibility, yet by writing
her account, she risks reprisals by terrorist organizations and further
FBI investigation."

[More Jewish tears for traitor Jonathan Pollard, the American
imprisoned as a spy for Israel.] OpEd: The Saddest Jew (Pollard), By
Charley J. Levine, Independent Media Review Analysis, August 8, 2003 "To
an extent not fathomed, Jonathan Pollard is a litmus test about the real
values commitments and actual sovereignty of the State of Israel... If
the government of Israel were to tell President Bush that nothing is
going to move forward on the "Roadmap" until this one man comes home, he
would be home tomorrow..." The saddest Jew in the world yesterday on the
" Esther has been pounding the Israeli pavement for far too many years,
hearing the same thing from dozens of powerbrokers. They all echo Libai
in promising the sky, affirming their support, tossing out possible
actions to be taken. And then they fade away, and Pollard remains in
prison. I visited Jonathan in jail, in 1996, in Butner, North Carolina.
My wife and I came to comfort, but it was he who comforted us. He was in
command, robust, focused, bloodied but unbowed. My most recent
conversation, via cell phone while sitting with Esther in Rimon Cafe
several months ago, was far more disconcerting. Jonathan sounded
terribly down. No wonder. He could have made the Guiness Book of World
Records for spending more time in prison than any other American citizen
in history convicted of the crime for which he was tried. (And they say
anti-Semitism has nothing to do with it.) I was shocked and frightened
for his well-being as never before. And yet, still helpless. Jonathan
resurfaced recently, as he occasionally does in between long, damning
spells of benign neglect. 112 Members of Knesset signed a petition [to
free him from prison] on his behalf-they should be doing much more than
that, but certainly a positive initiative ... In a recent Israel opinion
poll, the two issues that absolutely topped the list in terms of
weeping, 95%+ support, were the continued unity of Jerusalem as the
capital of Israel and the proposition that Jonathan Pollard should be
freed. Something is fundamentally wrong when political leaders race to
affirm Jerusalem's status, yet shy away from expressing Israel's firm
resolve on the Pollard matter."

Pollard to get a day in court in latest twist of famous spy case, By
Edwin Black, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Aug. 12, 2003 "Sept. 2, 2003 is
going to be a big day for Jonathan Pollard: The American Jewish spy is
going to get another day in court. Pollard´s lawyers will have 40
minutes in a federal courtroom to explain why they should be permitted
to continue efforts to rescind the life sentence he received 18 years
ago for committing espionage for Israel. Years of tenacious motions by
attorneys Jacques Semmelman and Eliot Lauer either have been vigorously
opposed by government attorneys or allowed to languish in the court. Now
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Hogan has granted Pollard and his
attorneys - who are working on the case pro bono - a hearing. Semmelman
and Lauer will get 30 minutes to argue why they should be permitted to
appeal, the government can take a half hour to respond, and then
Pollard´s attorneys will be granted 10 minutes for the last word. So
pivotal is the hearing that the judge has ordered federal prison
officials in Butner, N.C., to shuttle Pollard to the U.S. District Court
in Washington for the event. Prison officials said they are uncertain
whether U.S. marshals would fly Pollard to the nation´s capital or
drive. "Normally, we drive them for a mere six-hour trip," a prison
spokesman said, "but a high-profile prisoner like Pollard might be
flown." He added that arrangements would be made for Pollard´s kosher
meals."

Israeli Outlaws in America.The Case of Rafi Eitan, By KURT NIMMO,
Counterpunch, August 25, 2003 "Is Rafi Eitan in the United States and if
so why hasn't the FBI arrested him? Eitan is the former chief of Mossad
operations in Europe and the man who recruited the U.S. Navy
counter-intelligence specialist Jonathan Pollard to spy on the United
States. As well, Eitan once headed the top-secret science and technology
spy unit known as Leshkat Kesher Madao, or Lekem (supposedly dismantled
following Pollard's bust). According to Richard Sale (Pollard Recruiter
Resurfaces in U.S., UPI, July 31, 2003) and federal law enforcement
officials, "Eitan has, for the last year or so, been traveling to the
United States on an Israeli passport, but using an alias." Eitan
apparently landed at Columbus, Ohio, and then moved around the Midwest
on a prolonged road trip. Eitan "the stinker" has been photographed in
the company of "known dealers who belong to a ring dealing in the drug
ecstasy," one federal law enforcement official told Sale. Last year two
major Israeli Ecstasy traffickers were extradited to the United States,
much to the displeasure of the Israeli government. The DEA claims
"Israeli organized crime figures" control around 70 percent of the
worldwide market in Ecstasy. "The FBI is looking for evidence that Eitan
is, or has been engaging, in questionable activities related to this
ring," a federal law enforcement official told UPI. For his part in the
Pollard spy scandal, Rafi Eitan was promoted to a senior position with
the largest state-owned business enterprise in Israel -- the Israel
Chemicals Company. He received the job based on the recommendation of
Ariel Sharon. "It's generally agreed that Eitan was to take the brunt of
blame for the [Pollard] mess," a former official close to confidential
details of the case told UPI. "In return for his silence, Sharon would
make sure he got a good job." In 1987, Eitan boasted to an Israeli
newspaper that all of his actions had been undertaken with the knowledge
of his Israeli superiors. But Eitan was not the only Israeli to be
rewarded for snooping on America. Aviem Sella, an Israeli Air Force
expert in nuclear targeting and delivery of airborne nuclear weapons,
was Pollard's handler. When Pollard was arrested for passing satellite
photographs and weapon systems data to the Israelis, Sella hurried back
to Israel, and was soon promoted to Brig. Gen. in Israel's Air Force.
"This raised such an outcry of protest in the United States that Sella
was quietly moved to the Israeli Defense Force Defense College," writes
Sale. Apparently, spying on the United States is relatively easy for the
Israelis. According to a 1979 CIA report (quoted by Michael Saba,
Pollard in Perspective): "The Israeli intelligence service depends
heavily on the various Jewish communities and organizations abroad for
recruiting agents and eliciting general information ... Israeli agents
usually operate discreetly within Jewish communities and are under
instructions to handle their missions with utmost tact to avoid
embarrassment to Israel." Pollard, who studied politics at the Fletcher
School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University after graduating from
Stanford University, was one such "asset" in the American Jewish
community. Is it possible Eitan is working "discreetly within Jewish
communities" in regard to drug dealing as well -- or did the FBI simply
hallucinate the whole thing? And if the FBI indeed knows the whereabouts
of Eitan, why haven't they arrested him? He is, after all, a wanted man
in America. According to Carl Cameron of Fox News -- in a series of
reports that have subsequently disappeared from the Fox News website --
in 1997 the Israelis organized "cocaine and ecstasy trafficking, and
sophisticated white-collar credit card and computer fraud... the bad
guys had the cops beepers, cell phones, even home phones under
surveillance. Some who did get caught admitted to having hundreds of
numbers and using them to avoid arrest." An investigation revealed the
Israeli crime network possessed "extensive access to database systems to
identify pertinent personal and biographical information" of law
enforcement officers. How did a network of drug dealers get this
sensitive information? "When investigators tried to find out where the
information might have come from, they looked at Amdocs, a publicly
traded firm based in Israel," Cameron reported. "Amdocs generates
billing data for virtually every call in America, and they do credit
checks." But it seems Amdocs was not only involved with Israeli drug
dealers. "More than two dozen U.S. intelligence, counterintelligence,
law-enforcement and other officials have told Insight [magazine] that
the FBI believes Israel has intercepted telephone and modem
communications on some of the most sensitive lines of the U.S.
government on an ongoing basis," write J. Michael Waller and Paul
Rodriguez. "The worst penetrations are believed to be in the State
Department. But others say the supposedly secure telephone systems in
the White House, Defense Department and Justice Department may have been
compromised as well. The problem for FBI agents in the famed Division 5,
however, isn't just what they have uncovered, which is substantial, but
what they don't know yet." Amdocs "helped Bell Atlantic install new
telephone lines in the White House in 1997... [and] a senior-level
employee of Amdocs had a separate T1 data phone line installed from his
base outside of St. Louis that was connected directly to Israel...
investigators are looking into whether the owner of the T1 line had a
'real time' capacity to intercept phone calls from both the White House
and other government offices around Washington, and sustained the line
for some time, sources said. Sources familiar with the investigation say
FBI agents on the case sought an arrest warrant for the St. Louis
employee but [Clinton] Justice Department officials quashed it." Waller
and Rodriguez quoted one senior government official as saying: "It is a
politically sensitive matter. I can't comment on it beyond telling you
that anything involving Israel on this particular matter is off-limits.
It's that hot." Apparently, the Justice Department and the FBI have a
lot to hide, if we are to believe Jeffrey Steinberg and Edward Spannaus.
According to these two journalists, the Israelis are behind a "massive
ecstasy trafficking operation, delivering hundreds of millions of
dollars in illegal drugs, manufactured in the Netherlands, to cities
across the United States. The drug trafficking operation is also engaged
in black market diamond smuggling, using Hassidic Jews as couriers...
Portions of the funds garnered from the illegal operations, according to
sources, are funneled to offshore bank accounts of Israeli Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon. Some of these dirty funds were reportedly
diverted to Sharon's election campaigns. This Israeli mafia apparatus
receives technical support via a number of Israeli communications firms,
that subcontract with major American telephone companies and government
law enforcement agencies..."

[Note: the author of this piece, Gordon Thomas, has his own web site
and has written many books, some about Mossad.] Sleeper Agents
Mobilizing for 9-11. Anniversary Israel is secretly mobilizing its
sleeper agents in the United States in the run-up to the anniversary of
the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, by Gordon Thomas, American Free
Press "In an unprecedented move, Israel has secretly mobilized its
estimated 15,000 sleeper agents —known as sayanim—across America. For
the past month, in the utmost secrecy, they have been briefed by former
Mossad operations director, Raphael (Rafi) Eitan, on how to update the
defense systems of synagogues, Jewish religious schools, Jewish banks,
and other Jewish-owned institutions. Many of the sayanim—the name comes
from the Hebrew “to help”—have received weapons training during their
military service. Others have worked in U.S. military intelligence. A
number are currently employed by police forces across the country.
“While their allegiance to their birth country cannot be doubted, each
sayan recognizes a greater loyalty: the mystical one to Israel and a
need to help protect it from its enemies,” Meir Amit, a former Mossad
chief, has said. He created the secret force of sayanim. Known as
Israel’s “invisible army,” all its members are vetted by professional
Mossad intelligence officers, called katsas, before being recruited.
Sayanim reported that the FBI has identified 240 individuals living in
the United States—mostly Saudis and Syrians—who are openly sympathetic
to al Qaeda ... To protect its massive multiple interests in the United
States, Israel has decided to act alone. It will be seen by Homeland
Security and the FBI as a vote of no confidence in their ability to
protect Jewish interests. The information of a possible attack came from
two U.S.-based katsas (Mossad agents). Each made a similar report to
Mossad chief, Meir Dagan. Both reports stated al Qaeda terrorists in
Canada are preparing to launch an attack in the United States. No date
or target was provided. The decision to send Eitan—the Mossad spy chief
who persuaded Jonathan Pollard to betray all of America’s most important
defense secrets to Israel—was made by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Eitan
is traveling on an Israeli diplomatic passport throughout the United
States—and requests to question him about his activities have been
rejected. In order to avoid creating a political problem with Israel,
FBI Director Robert Mueller is said to have been ordered by Attorney
General John Ashcroft not to question Eitan. A high-level administration
source said: “In the end, we are both on the same side. We need to keep
Sharon reading the road map to peace—even if it is in tatters right
now.” On a recent fishing trip to Ireland, Mueller made plain his
feelings along the banks of one of Ireland’s finest salmon rivers. A
source close to Mueller said: “Once more the Israelis are trying to run
their own show. Eitan appears to have mobilized a private army within
the United States which will ultimately only be answerable to Israel.”

Pollard's Lawyers Seek His Early Release, Earthlink (from Associated
Press), September 2, 2003. "Jonathan Pollard, given a life sentence for
selling military secrets to Israel, appeared in public for the first
time in 16 years Tuesday as his lawyers tried to help him win early
release. Pollard looked heavier and grayer than the man who stood in the
same courthouse and admitted espionage in 1987. The bearded Pollard wore
a yarmulke and a green shirt stamped "Arlington County Jail." He nodded
hello to his wife in the courtroom's front row, and then sat with hands
folded and did not speak as his lawyers argued the government should be
forced to turn over secret files that could help his request for
clemency. "Jonathan Pollard is sitting here in court today. He asks only
for justice and a fair sentencing, as guaranteed by our Constitution,"
attorney Jacques Semmelman said. "He has not had that." Jewish religious
leaders and other supporters filled several rows of the courtroom.
Pollard's 89-year-old father, from whom he is estranged, sat separately
in the back row. Government lawyers argued that another judge was right
to reject Pollard's claims and he should not be allowed to press the
case further ... He was not paid when his spying began in 1984, but
acknowledged that Israel later began paying him a few thousand dollars a
month. Pollard was caught in November 1985 and arrested after
unsuccessfully seeking refuge at the Israeli embassy. Pollard initially
denied he worked for Israel but later acknowledged it. He claims
prosecutors reneged on a promise to seek a lesser sentence in return for
his cooperation. His case has been a sticking point in U.S.-Israeli
relations. The Israeli government, which granted Pollard citizenship,
repeatedly has pressed for his release. A 1998 U.S.-brokered peace
accord between Israel and the Palestinians nearly foundered when
then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly linked his
agreement to the deal with clemency for Pollard. Then-President Clinton
said he had promised only to review the case. During deliberations on
clemency, CIA Director George Tenet had told Clinton he would quit if
Pollard were freed. Pollard's case was reviewed by federal officials in
2000 but he was left off the list of those granted clemency just before
Clinton left office. The Israeli government has continued to press the
issue with the Bush administration. "We are using all our efforts to get
him released," Raanan Gissin, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon, said Tuesday."

["This article was pulled by the Ottawa Sun for unknown reasons
within hours of posting" -- also reposted here.] Nine Israelis face
deportation.Spy agency suspects they may be foreign agents, By JOHN
STEINBACHS and ANDREW SEYMOUR, Cryptome (from Ottawa Sun - Canada),
September 19, 2003 "Nine Israeli nationals -- who[m] CSIS suspects are
possible foreign agents -- were arrested by Immigration and Ottawa
police tactical officers last Friday, blocks from Parliament Hill. The
nine have all been charged by Immigration for working in Canada
illegally. All are in their 20s and were apparently selling art in
Ottawa. The arrests follow similar takedowns of Israelis in Toronto and
Calgary over the past few weeks. An Ottawa police source said police
were told members of the group were possible agents from Mossad,
Israel's spy agency, but given no further information by CSIS. CSIS
declined to comment yesterday. All nine have since been released and are
staying in several rooms at a Lisgar St. apartment-hotel. Citizenship
and Immigration spokesman Rejean Cantlon confirmed that nine Israelis
were arrested last Friday for working in Canada without a permit.
Immigration hearings were held Wednesday and nine exclusion orders were
issued. No weapons Ienav Sofer, Amit Yedudai, Rani Rahuhim Katsov, Roy
Laniado, Shulamit Gorelik and Anatoly Belnik received exclusion orders
for two years for working without authorization and misrepresentation.
Koby Cole, Sharon Moskovitz and Yafit Avram were issued exclusion orders
for one year. All will be deported as soon as paperwork is ready, likely
within the next few weeks, Cantlon said. They were arrested with the
help of tactical and patrol officers Friday between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. No
weapons were found in their rooms. Yesterday, eight were found walking
down Lisgar St., but offered no comment when asked if they were Israeli
art students. This is not the first time students selling art in Ottawa
have caused concern with law enforcement. In 2001, Centrepointe
residents complained of foreign students selling paintings in their
neighourhood that turned out to be fakes. "We're outraged" The story of
Israeli art students peddling paintings in foreign countries has been
reported in the media and on the Internet in the past."

Ex-envoy suspects Israel broke spy vow to Canada. 'False flag'
controversy: Secret agents allegedly pretended they were Canadian, by
Stewart Bell, National Post (Canada), November 6, 2003 "Canada's former
ambassador to Tel Aviv said yesterday he believes Israeli undercover
agents may have posed as Canadians during a deadly covert operation last
year, breaking a pledge made in 1997. Michael Bell, who retired from the
foreign service in August, suspects members of the Israeli Shin Beit
security service may have adopted fake Canadian identities as part of a
terrorist-assassination mission in Gaza. The Israelis deny their agents
used Canada as a "false flag" but Mr. Bell, a Middle East expert, said
he is not convinced. "It showed all the signs of traditional
intelligence tradecraft," he told the National Post in an interview. The
ambassador said when the false flag allegation came to Canada's
attention in August, 2002, the Department of Foreign Affairs opted not
to make an issue of it, but he believes that may have been the wrong
decision. "My concern in this is that the Canadian identity -- whether
it's the simple fact of being a Canadian citizen or being a Canadian
passport holder -- provides a certain level of positive recognition," he
said. "And when that identity or those documents are compromised, then
it calls into question the integrity of those documents in future cases
or the integrity of that citizenship" ... [L]ast August a Palestinian
named Akram Zatmeh went public with a detailed account of how he was
coerced into becoming an Israeli informant by undercover agents who
convinced him they were Canadians. He said he was recruited by three
agents who promised to help him immigrate to Canada, brought him to the
Canadian embassy in Tel Aviv and then blackmailed him by producing
doctored photos that showed him in sexual encounters. Mr. Zatmeh said
the agents told him they would distribute the photos unless he agreed to
spy for them in Gaza and provide the names of Palestinians who were
shooting at Jewish settlements and Israeli military command posts. On
July 23, 2002, Mr. Zatmeh helped Israeli agents pinpoint the location of
Sheik Salah Shehadeh, a Hamas leader. Twenty minutes later, an Israeli
F-16 fighter jet fired a one-tonne missile at his apartment. The bomb
killed not only the sheik but also more than a dozen bystanders, nine of
them children. Mr. Zatmeh, 22, was arrested by Palestinian security
forces as a collaborator and is facing the death sentence."

[The ADL is corrupt. It is a Thought Police. It is a Jewish spy
organization, in this case against Blacks. For the ADL, the mass media
is to be milked for its Jewish reporters, who are apparently trusted to
explictly JEWISH spying. Here, a Jewish reporter drops the ball in the
ADL spy-journalist network.] Jew Gotta Be Kidding, by Howard Altman,
City Paper (Philadeolphia), November 13, 19, 2003 "Barry Morrison,
executive director of the Philadelphia branch of the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL), is on the line, reminding me about the time when a guy
suggested that someone slit my throat, like they did to Wall Street
Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Oh yeah. The guy who called me a "Jew
spy" for reporting where Dick Cheney hides. After a few minutes of
chitchat about old times, Morrison segues into a discussion about a
group that believes in "reparations" -- payments to blacks as
compensation for the ills imposed on African slaves. Reparations? The
ADL wants to know from reparations? Well, sort of. Morrison asks me if I
know about the reparations conference being held in Philly over the
weekend. I tell him I do. He asks if I am going. Probably not, I answer.
Why? And here comes the punch line to this story. With the
reparationistas in town, Morrison asks me how I would like to spy on
them for him. The invitation, let me tell you, shocks and offends. If I
didn't spy for the FBI when they asked me to lure an espionage suspect
into a sting, why would I spy for Morrison and the ADL? He is dismayed a
bit when I tell him I won't do it. There will be some anti-Semitic
nutballs in town to discuss whether the United States should pay
reparations, he argues. People like Dr. Leonard Jeffries, the CUNY
professor who once referred to Jews as "skunks." The ADL wants to know
what they are up to, but they can't get anyone in. "Can you or one of
your reporters give us some information?" Morrison asks. I am not a big
fan of reparations. Then again, I don't want any money from the families
of Nazis. But regardless of what I think about reparations, and
regardless that I feel that Morrison's outfit does important work, there
is no way I am going to give any information to the ADL. Or anyone else
... I have friends and sources in every community. Blacks, whites,
Asians, Latinos, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Arabs, LGBT, everybody. Who
would talk to me if I were a font of intel for the ADL? It's hard enough
getting people to trust the media, Barry. I hope I am not the only one
to turn you down."

Israel recruited Dutch UN officers for espionage, by Arjan El Fassed,
The Electronic Intifada, November 12, 2003 "Between 1956 and 2003,
Israel has recruited Dutch UN officers to spy in Syria, Jordan and
Lebanon. This happened during the peaks of the Dutch-Israeli friendship.
In its recruitment of Dutch officers for intelligence gathering, Israel
regularly used blackmail. Arthur ten Cate, a researcher affiliated with
the Dutch Institute for Military History in The Hague, recently
published a book "Waarnemers op heilige grond" [lit. "Observers on holy
ground"], Dutch officers with UNTSO 1956-2003, in which he named two
Israeli crimps and Dutch officers who were involved in intelligence
gathering for Israel. Outside the public eye, the Netherlands contribute
army officers from the ground, air and naval forces to the United
Nations Truce Supervision Organization in the Middle East. UNTSO was
established in 1948 ... During their missions, Dutch officers were
eyewitnesses of the Israeli-Arab conflict. They were in the region
during the Suez crisis, at the frontlines of the 1967 June War, the 1973
October War and were present during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and
the Gulf War. Ten Cate's book describes the various wars and the
conflict in the Middle East from the perspective of these Dutch
officers. He describes what they observed and what they reported to the
Security Council in New York and how they contributed to the attempts by
the international community to contain this conflict. Between 1956 and
today, around 500 officers of the Dutch airforce, ground forces and navy
operated in UNTSO. He described how a one-sided, pro-Israeli group of
officers shifted to a more neutral position. When they returned back to
the Netherlands, people did not believe their stories. Often they were
branded as "anti-Israeli" or even "anti-semitic". Even though a number
of Dutch officers were actively involved in espionage for Israel, the
majority of Dutch officers with UNTSO changed their opinion based on
what they observed themselves. Ten Cate concludes his book saying that
"much earlier than the rest of the Dutch people, the Dutch officers
learned that the Israeli-Arab conflict has two sides instead of one."
One of the Dutch UN officers named in Ten Cate's book is major G.J.
Schüssler, commander of the headquarters of UNTSO in Tiberias. He was
approached by the Israeli veterinary surgeon Uzi Ghanoch, who had
studied in Utrecht in the Netherlands. He spoke fluent Dutch and he
asked Schüssler whether he was willing to work for Israeli intelligence.
The Dutch major agreed on condition that he would not receive "any
reward". Schüssler provided Israel with intelligence on locations of
anti-aircraft artillery in Syria and on Palestinian fedayeen in Jordan.
Ten Cate wrote that every Dutch officer working in Tiberias was
approached by Ghanoch. Major Ijsbrand Smit, who was with the Dutch
airforce, also provided intelligence to Israel. He was married with an
agent of the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad. Smit was actively
engaged in the recruitment of new spies. Later, when he worked at the
NATO headquarters in Bergen and at the Foreign Intelligence Service in
The Hague, he continued working for Israel. In 1983 he was exposed.
Behind closed doors he appeared before the council of war. The court
accepted his defense saying that the co-operation between Israeli and
Dutch intelligence was strong and that information would anyway be
shared between the two agencies. He was finally released due to "lack of
evidence". The Mossad had special interest to recruit UN officers, who
observed the truce between Israel and its neighbours. Ten Cate described
how married soldiers would be approached by attractive women. They could
choose to co-operate or explain to their wives what had happened. When
they just started their mission with UNTSO, most Dutch officers were
pro-Israel, writes Ten Cate. For some this attitude and position changed
over time. The first commander of UNTSO, the Swedish major-general Carl
von Horn wrote in his memoires that as well as the Jordanian
intelligence as the Israeli intelligence were keeping control over the
observers, however, he was most concerned with the approach of the
Israeli intelligence. They tapped communications, but also bribed UN
personnel or blackmailed them. Von Horn tried to clean his organisation
and established a counter-espionage service. The Dutch officers felt
isolated, writes Ten Cate. Back home, nobody wanted to hear cases of
violations of the ceasefire. The Dutch public only wanted to hear heroic
stories of the "brave Jewish pioneers".

Blitz editor arrested on sedition charges, News from Bangladesh
"Police arrested Salahuddin Shoeb Chowdhury, editor of a newly-published
fortnightly English news magazine Blitz and former managing director of
the proposed Inquilab Television (ITV), a satellite television channel
yet to air programmes, from Zia International Airport (ZIA) on Saturday.
Police said they had evidences of Shoeb’s involvement in ‘seditious’
activities. Top-ranking police sources said Shoeb was on his way to
Israel and was offloaded from a Biman flight (BG-084) scheduled to leave
for Bangkok and Singapore from ZIA at 10:41am on Saturday. Police said
they had also recovered some anti-state documents from his possession.
Police also raided Shoeb’s Uttara residence in Dhaka and seized some
documents and his personal computer. Shoeb was scheduled to fly to Tel
Aviv in Israel where he was supposed to present a paper at a conference
there on December 1. His paper contained anti-state statement, police
sources said. According to sources, Shoeb had earlier visited Tel Aviv
last month and submitted a similar paper at a seminar there. He
reportedly described in the paper that global extremist al-Qaeda network
existed in Bangladesh and got training in the mosques. It is the second
time that Shoeb has been arrested on charge of anti-state activities in
the last five years."

Female Bond with a story to sell Nima Zamar, a trained killer for
Mossad, believed that she was eliminating ‘real filth’. And that is
exactly what she writes in her book, although Israel would like to call
her a fantasist. CHARLES BREMNER reports, Becoming a Teacher (from Times
of London, September 2003 "A POWERFUL handshake is probably standard for
professional killers who dispatch victims with their bare hands. Yet the
vigorous grip is a surprise when you meet Nima Zamar, a 33-year-old
French woman who has just gone public with an account of life as an
agent with a licence to kill for the Israeli secret service, Mossad.
Though tall and muscular, Zamar has soft eyes, a quiet voice and trim
black hair. She laughs easily, but has a fragile air about her. She
could almost be any fit young French woman as she chats in a Left Bank
room with her 18-month-old daughter playing nearby. However, average
Parisiennes do not usually tell you about strangling, knifing and
shooting people or how they cope with torture. "Even when you have no
barrier of conscience because you are defending yourself or killing real
filth" she says "you notice that the moment that every human being dies,
they have an instant of realisation, a sort of childlike flash. "At that
moment you understand that life is beautiful. Something very precious.
But that doesn’t stop you trying to save your own life." The tale of
Zamar -- which is not her real name -- is the stuff of nightmares or the
darkest of thrillers. To exorcise demons, she has just recounted her
life in a book, Je Devais Aussi Tuer (I Also Had to Kill). The work is
making a splash in Paris, but it is so grim that some media are calling
it fiction. Others are taking her at her word, as well as that of Albin
Michel, her highly respectable publishers. Thierry Pfister, her editor
and a prominent figure on the literary scene, is vouching for the truth
of her account. He has known Zamar, whose family were Romanian-Jewish
immigrants, since she was a small child. Zamar claims that after
emigrating to Israel at 22 with a computing degree, she volunteered for
military service. She was coerced by a branch of Mossad into two years
of training which included Arabic, killing techniques and conditioning
for life under cover and torture. She then spent six years in the guise
of a Swiss-reared Palestinian deep in the dirty war in the ranks of the
the terrorist organisation Hezbollah. On undercover missions to bug
Syrian military computers in Lebanon, she was often called upon to kill,
in self defence and sometimes in cold blood. She committed her first
murder at a Hezbollah camp in Libya. She was ordered by the officers to
kill Yasmina, a fellow trainee with whom she had sympathised. This was a
standard test to forge obedience and dehumanise recruits. She kills
Yasmina without compunction, telling herself that every dead terrorist
meant Israeli lives saved. "Slowly, I move behind her, hit her in the
throat with a violent blow of the forearm and then strangle her. She
lies dead in my arms. I put her on the ground," she writes. What does it
take for a woman to put another so calmly to death, one wonders. "They
had prepared me intensely and warned me that there would be this kind of
test," she says quietly. "I did what I had to do. It was always a case
of life and death and saving my skin. It’s like war must have been 1,000
years ago. There’s someone opposite you and there will only be one
winner, the one who kills." In the book, she describes her many other
victims in similar terms, noting details such as cleaning the flesh off
a "useful" foldable knife after the murder of a terrorist official.
Women are, she says are perhaps better killers than men because they are
less dominated by ego and more willing to serve humbly in the shadows
without glory or recognition ... Disillusioned by the rigid and
over-demanding methods of Mossad, Zamar says that she left for France in
early 2001, escaping a murder attempt with a syringe by a fellow agent
at Istanbul airport. He does not survive. Her book, she says, is a way
to bear witness and leave an account for her daughter, whose father was
a comrade killed on a mission in Iran. She renounces none of her acts
nor her love of Israel. "What I wanted to show is the workings of a
creaking, archaic system and how someone with determination could
extract themselves from it, both mentally and physically without giving
up their ideals or their values," she says. Zamar, who masks her face
for photographs and television, says that her former masters have let
her go. They initially approved the idea of her book but sent back a
censored version of the manuscript, reduced to a bare outline. "They
were fine as long as I didn’t talk about training or missions and that I
was a bit more positive about Israel," she said. She published anyway,
although with many details "sterilised". Israel is now trying to
discredit her by depicting her as a fantasy- land Mata Hari. How could
she have emerged so apparently unscathed from such brutality? "Who says
unscathed?" she says, talking of her continuing headaches, damaged body
and the post-traumatic stress syndrome that was not averted despite the
post-mission work with psychiatrists. The violence has not dehumanised
her, as it does for terrorists, she says, because she was helped by the
psychiatrists and the knowledge that her cause was just ... However,
such an extraordinary, and unprovable, story leaves many with a strong
suspicion that it may all be fiction."

[There is no moral degredation limit to protect racist Israel. Fraud
is endemic to the pro-Israel movement. And, ho! Look, it gets results.
Constantly "monitored" anti-war groups are increasingly sensitized to --
and bend toward -- Jewish fraud.] Antiwar Group Exposes Undercover
Activist, By DANIEL J. HEMEL, Harvard Crimson, January 12, 2--4 "An
outspoken member of Harvard Students for Israel went undercover in what
he says was a quest to gauge anti-Semitism in a campus anti-war group.
Members of the Harvard Initiative for Peace and Justice (HIPJ)
discovered last week that mysterious anti-Semitic posts on the group’s
web log were written by Eric R. Trager ’05, who posted them under an
assumed name. Trager said yesterday that he was responsible for the
posts in question, but said they were part of his larger effort to
monitor anti-Semitism on campus. Trager, who is secretary of Harvard
Students for Israel (HSI), had previously accused HIPJ of being too
tolerant of anti-Semitic sentiments expressed over its e-mail lists. In
a November interview, Trager said that anti-Semitic e-mails sent last
spring over the now-defunct HIPJ-Open list “came without any rebuke or
organizational distancing from HIPJ.” To determine whether HIPJ would
still tolerate anti-Semitism in its midst, Trager said he created the
persona of Fabian Cooper, who identified himself as a Boston University
graduate student who had taken a year off from his studies to work as a
substitute teacher and get involved with local Marxist groups. Trager
said the language he used in the posts was modeled after messages
previously sent over HIPJ lists. One post signed by Cooper referred to
Israel as the “AshkeNAZI state,” playing off the Hebrew name for Jews of
Eastern European descent, and called suicide bombers “Palestinian
freedom fighters.” A second post attributed to Cooper, written after
Saddam Hussein’s capture, claimed that “only a great leader like Saddam
Hussein would have had the guts to hit the Zionist imperial colonists
with the scud missiles necessary to set the Zionist entity on edge.”
According to HIPJ member Amee Chew ’04, the group removed both posts
from its website within minutes of their appearance. Trager, a
government concentrator in Kirkland House, said HIPJ’s quick response to
the Cooper posts signaled a positive trend in relations between
pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian activists on campus. “I was very pleased
that they did erase it,” Trager said. “It indicates the progress that
HSI and HIPJ have made in discussions. HIPJ is making an apparent effort
to fight anti-Semitism on campus.” But HSI President Joshua Suskewicz
’05 said the incident did not involve the group. “This has nothing to do
with HSI,” he said. Trager said he hopes the Fabian Cooper incident
“will throw a little bit of humor” into talks between HIPJ and HSI ...
Others in the [HIPJ] group, however, said they were not amused by
Trager’s antics. Chew said she was “shocked that [Trager] would stoop to
this” and termed his posts “reckless.” “I don’t think that Harvard
should be a place where people practice to become FBI or CIA agents,”
said HIPJ member Daniel DiMaggio ’04. “I think that this type of
behavior deserves the utmost censure on the part of the student body and
all members of the Harvard community.” “Members of [HSI] and HIPJ have
been working behind the scenes to promote a more positive dialogue on
campus,” Suskewicz said. “I hope that this doesn’t interfere in any
way.”

Bangladeshi editor charged with sedition for links with Israel,
tarnishing country's image, Highmark Funds (from Associated Press),
January 25, 2004 "A Bangladeshi magazine editor arrested for suspected
links with an Israeli literary group has been charged with sedition for
allegedly trying to tarnish the country's image aboard, a police
official said Sunday. Bangladesh, a moderate Muslim country, bars its
citizens from formal contact - such as business dealings or cultural
exchanges - with Israelis. Traveling to Israel is also restricted.
Police detained Salauddin Shoib Chowdhury, the editor of entertainment
magazine Blitz, on Nov. 29 as he was boarding a flight in Dhaka for
Bangkok. He allegedly was planning to travel to Tel Aviv. Immigration
officials found in Chowdhury's possession an invitation to a literary
conference organized by the Hebrew Writers Association in Tel Aviv on
Dec. 1. They also seized a paper - containing remarks calling Bangladesh
and its people Muslim fundamentalists - that Chowdhury was to present at
the conference, police said. Police said they also confiscated fax and
e-mail messages and computer disks from his residence and office,
including a project proposal seeking 120 million takas (US$2 million)
from a Jewish group to publish three newspapers. Police did not name the
group or say what type of newspapers they were. On Saturday, police
filed a case under a sedition law accusing Chowdhury of anti-state
activities for having contacts with Israelis and trying to tarnish the
country's image abroad, said Mohammed Abdul Hanif, a police official.
Chowdhury, who has denied all charges, could be jailed for life if found
guilty. The police investigation proved "beyond doubt that he was trying
to tarnish the image of Bangladesh, so he should be charged with
anti-state activities," the police said in the case filed with the Chief
Metropolitan Magistrate. Chowdhury was also charged with hurting the
religious sentiments of Bangladeshis, which carries a maximum two-year
jail term and a fine. He remains in custody after being denied bail in
early December. Chowdhury was recently named as head of the Bangladeshi
branch of the Israel-based International Forum for Literature and
Culture for Peace, which links writers campaigning for an end to
violence, the group said earlier in a statement. Forum president Ada
Aharoni called the arrest an unwarranted attack on an advocate of
dialogue between Muslims and Jews. Bangladesh, which strongly supports a
Palestinian state, has no official, political or economic ties with
Israel."

[Famous Mossad network living in Orlando, Florida:] The spy - and the
man she busted. Using womanly skills, a young Israeli agent snares a
whistleblower. Now, his pending release revives the notorious case, By
SUSAN TAYLOR MARTIN, St. Petersburg Times (FL), March 21, 2004 ----"She
drives a red Cutlass convertible and lives in a gated community. Like
thousands of others, she worked in that quintessential Florida
profession - selling real estate. At 44, Cheryl Hanin leads an
unremarkable life. It is a far cry from the past, when she was known as
"Cindy" and had a very different career: Spying for the Mossad, Israel's
crack intelligence service. In 1986, Hanin was an undercover agent when
a British newspaper published a sensational story about Israel's vast
and secretive nuclear weapons program. Posing as an American tourist,
"Cindy" lured the whistle-blower - a former nuclear technician named
Mordechai Vanunu - from London to Rome. There, other agents drugged him,
chained him and shipped him back to Israel to stand trial. Vanunu was
convicted of treason and espionage. After 18 years in prison, he is due
for release next month - raising a fresh storm of controversy about
Israel's nuclear program and one of the most notorious cases in modern
spy history. To many, Hanin was a hero who helped bring a turncoat to
justice. Without her, they say, Vanunu might have continued to spill
secrets that threatened Israel's national security. "His reputation is
very bad," says Yossi Melman, who covers security issues for the Israeli
daily Ha'aretz. "He is considered by many as a traitor." But to his
legion of supporters in the United States and elsewhere, Vanunu is the
true hero, a peace-loving man who thought the world had a right to know
about the huge nuclear arsenal Israel was developing. His admirers - who
repeatedly have nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize - charge he was
illegally seized on foreign soil by a spy agency that knows no bounds.
"This woman destroyed Mordechai's life," says Peter Hounam, the reporter
who first interviewed Vanunu in 1986. "He trusted her, she deliberately
placed him in a position where his defenses were down. He was lonely,
and she and her Mossad team took advantage of that. I have nothing but
contempt for what she did." Neither Hanin nor Vanunu has ever spoken
publicly about the case. That has sparked the inevitable questions: Does
Vanunu still have warm feelings for Cindy? And is Cindy still working
for the Mossad? "A woman has skills' Born in 1960, Cheryl Hanin grew up
in Pennsylvania and Orlando in a Jewish family that owed its affluence
to tires. Her father, Stanley Hanin, founded Allied Discount Tires, a
chain of stores best known for its shrill ads with a tipsy pitchman:
"Tahrs ain't pretty, but you gotta have them!" ... As her parents went
through a bitter divorce, Hanin had her own life-changing experience:
She spent a semester in Israel, studying Hebrew and Jewish history. She
was so captivated by the country that upon graduation in 1978, she
joined the Israeli armyv ... As a Mossad recruit, Hanin would have gone
through a regimen designed to test an agent's mettle under the most
challenging of circumstances ... The woman called herself "Cindy" and
said she was a beautician on vacation from America. She suggested they
meet the next day at the Tate Gallery; Vanunu, pleased she shared his
interest in the arts, agreed. Although he did not realize it, Vanunu had
fallen into a classic "honey trap." The Mossad, familiar with his
desires and weaknesses, knew exactly how to lure him. ... It is probable
that Cheryl was not the only Mossad Mata Hari lurking around and
flashing her eyes in Morde's direction. ... After Vanunu's capture,
Hounam tracked Cheryl Hanin to Netanya, a city on Israel's Mediterranean
coast ... In 1997, another Sunday Times reporter found Hanin back home
in Orlando, in a "secluded villa." Again, she said little except to
voice concern that any story about her should not "harm her position in
America." According to the paper, the couple also had a villa in Israel,
in an area that is home to many security officials. Hanin "continues to
work for Mossad, according to her Israeli neighbors," the Sunday Times
said. "She and her husband, they believe, have rented out their house,
while she is engaged in an overseas assignment, and are expected some
day to return." Today, Hanin and Ben Tov, parents of two daughters, seem
firmly rooted in Central Florida. They live in Alaqua, which bills
itself as "Seminole County's most exclusive estate home community."
Their 4,000-square-foot golf course home - purchased in Hanin's name in
1998 and assessed at $528,000 - is among the more modest in a place
where custom residences sell in the millions. Now 50, Ben Tov is a
trainee appraiser for one of Orlando's largest real estate appraisal
firms. Among the company's clients have been military bases and local
governments. The burly Ben Tov, dressed in khakis and a maroon knit
shirt, declined a request for an interview when a reporter visited the
firm's headquarters in downtown Orlando. "So long, see you later," he
said, and quickly retreated to his office. Hanin's brother and his wife,
Cindy - from whom Hanin got her Mossad cover name - also declined to
talk about Hanin, as did her mother. All live in the Orlando area. Until
recently, state records showed Hanin had an active real estate sales
license and was employed by CFI Sales & Marketing of Orlando. But CFI,
whose Westgate Resorts is one of the world's largest timeshare
companies, said Hanin was terminated in 1997, the same year the Sunday
Times found her in Orlando. CFI president David A. Siegel said Hanin
likely was fired because she did not meet sales goals. He said he had
heard about the Vanunu controversy, but had no idea Hanin was involved.
"We had someone like that working for us?" he asked. After the St.
Petersburg Times began looking into Hanin's background, state records
were changed to show her license is inactive, with no reference to CFI.
Officials could not say who requested the change: CFI says it did not.
Could Hanin still be working for the Mossad? "No way," says Melman of
Ha'aretz. "She was burned - her identity was revealed and she was too
prominent." But Hounam, the former Sunday Times reporter who became one
of Vanunu's staunchest supporters, is not so sure. "I think she probably
is still doing some stuff for the Mossad . . . because once you train
someone to do a job like this, you don't want to lose them. . . . The
only satisfaction I've had in 18 years is being able to track her down
and expose her identity, which means her future career was damaged," he
said. "Indeed, she was not able to travel to the (United Kingdom) again
in case the British authorities might have tried to arrest her." And
what did Hanin have to say, reached by phone at home one morning? "I
have no interest in talking," a brusque voice replied. Click."

Old damning News, but always worth another look: The famous CENSORED
Fox News Carl Cameron report on massive Israeli spying in the United
States, here in both text and videotape form. Information Clearinghouse

A cartoonist and a spy, by JOHN CHERIAN, Frontline (India's National
Magazine from the publishers of THE HINDU), Volume 21 - Issue 08, April
10 - 23, 2004 "RANAN LURIE'S cartoons have graced the columns of leading
newspapers and magazines of the world. They have been hard-hitting,
though his right-wing political bias comes through frequently. During
his heyday in international journalism, Lurie could pick up the
telephone and speak to many leading Western statesmen and international
personalities. Few of them knew that Lurie was a "double agent", working
for the Israeli secret agency Mossad and the Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA) of the United States. The Guinness Book of Records has described
Lurie as the world's most popular caricaturist whose works have appeared
continuously for 20 straight years on a regular basis in more than a
thousand papers in 103 countries. His political cartoons have appeared
in publications like Time, Newsweek, Foreign Affairs, Asahi Shimbun and
Die Welt. According to articles that have appeared in the Israeli media,
Lurie has admitted that he was recruited at an early age by the Israeli
security agencies. Mossad realised that the talented young cartoonist
could be launched into the international media scene, where he could
turn out to be a useful asset. Mossad provided the springboard into
international journalism for the young Lurie by purchasing a weekly
magazine in Israel. Lurie was given a prominent profile in the magazine.
Its circulation was artificially boosted by Mossad, which purchased its
copies in bulk. The Israeli authorities saw to it that the soaring
circulation of the magazine was attributed mainly to the journalistic
skills of Lurie. If reports appearing in the Israeli media are to be
believed, Lurie's earlier exploits for the Israeli security services
before he became a media star had made him a prized asset. Lurie, posing
as an Australian journalist, had gained access to the Egyptian Navy's
flagship "Domiat". His assignment was to find out whether the Egyptians
had begun to use the naval radar supplied by the Soviet Union. Lurie
successfully accomplished the mission ... The CIA soon found out about
Lurie's secret life as an Israeli agent embedded in the upper crust of
American society. Mossad was left with no choice but to share its prized
asset with the CIA. Lurie continued in international journalism, happily
supplying information to two masters at the same time. Lurie is now busy
writing a book about his duplicitous career. In interviews to the
Israeli media, he has expressed no regrets. His story will add
credibility to the widespread belief that Western and Israeli security
services have infiltrated key sectors of the media in many countries,
including developing ones."

[More "anti-Semitism," this time from New Zealand. If these Jewish
Mossad crooks don't just sneak out of New Zealand, Israel will mount
pressure on the U.S. government through the world Jewish Lobby and
American pressure on New Zealand will ultimately free them. One way or
the other, these criminals fly.] Foreign spy charges whip up top-level
security storm, By BRIDGET CARTER, TONY STICKLEY AND EUGENE BINGHAM, New
Zealand Herald, April 17, 2004 "Two men believed by senior Government
figures to be Israeli secret service agents have been arrested in
Auckland trying to obtain a false New Zealand passport. The case has set
off alarm bells that Mossad spies may be masquerading as harmless New
Zealand travellers abroad. Prime Minister Helen Clark said last night
she would not comment while the case was before the court, but confirmed
the Government had raised the matter directly with the Israeli
Government. "There will be a strong and public response to this matter
once the court action has concluded," she told the Weekend Herald.
Officials, lawyers, police and Helen Clark's spokesman refused to
confirm or deny the Mossad link. The acting Israeli Ambassador, Orna
Sagiv, last night refused to comment. The case is the first known
example of foreign agents appearing in a New Zealand court since the
1985 arrest of two French agents who blew up the Greenpeace ship Rainbow
Warrior in Auckland harbour, killing one crewmember. It is understood
the Israeli Government wanted the case kept out of the New Zealand court
system, and this issue is likely to have been a point of diplomatic
friction. But the case has proceeded, indicating the Government has not
bowed to pressure from Tel Aviv. International security concerns are at
an all-time high and New Zealand views the clandestine Israeli secret
service activities here with grave concern. Weekend Herald
investigations into the case were stonewalled by New Zealand officials
until the men appeared in the Auckland District Court yesterday. Urie
Zoshe Kelman, 30, and Eli Cara, 50, have denied three joint charges
including attempting to obtain a New Zealand passport and participating
in an organised crime group to obtain a false passport. Details that
emerged in court revealed two other men were involved. Zev William
Barkan, 37, has fled the country and authorities concede they would not
know where to find him. A fourth man is believed to be here but police
say the others refuse to identify him. The group had been in and out of
the country since last November. Cara, who says he is a Sydney-based
travel agent, has travelled in and out 24 times since October 2000. The
court heard the visits since last year were allegedly for the purpose of
obtaining a false New Zealand identity for one of the men. They
allegedly made a passport application using a birth certificate of a
cerebral palsy sufferer who authorities say was an innocent victim of
the scam. After being tipped off by Internal Affairs, detectives mounted
a surveillance operation on March 23, dispatching a package meant to
resemble the passport and watching to see who would pick it up. In the
meantime, Cara and Kelman were allegedly carrying out their own
surveillance of the package. Cara was approached by police as he sat in
a cafe across the road from one drop-off point. Kelman was arrested
after he was seen walking away from another point, throwing a cellphone
into bushes. Kelman and Cara first appeared in court late last month. At
yesterday's appearance their case was fast-tracked in highly unusual
circumstances. They were committed for trial by consent of the defence,
although they did not admit there was a prima facie case. The men were
granted bail by Judge Chris Field who imposed reporting and curfew
conditions after rejecting police applications to keep them in custody
because of flight risk. Police were represented by Auckland-based
prosecutor Fletcher Pilditch, though Wellington has taken a clear
interest in the case and the office of the Solicitor-General, Terence
Arnold, QC, has also been involved. Outside court, Cara denied being a
member of the Israeli secret service. Asked if there had been a
misunderstanding, he said, "I think so." ... Kelman has been staying at
the Kiwi Hotel in Queen St and the Duxton Hotel. He has Israeli and
Canadian passports. Internationally, there have been cases of Mossad
agents being discovered trying to pass themselves off as nationals of
neutral countries. In 1997, Mossad agents were caught using Canadian
passports during a failed assassination attempt on an Islamic official
in Jordan. In 2000, a Mossad operative was handed a suspended sentence
after being accused of espionage and repeated use of false identity
documents in Switzerland. New Zealand passports have become increasingly
sought-after on the black market, not just for spies but for terrorists
and drug couriers. Four years ago, a member of an al Qaeda cell that
plotted to bomb Los Angeles at the turn of the millennium was uncovered
travelling on a stolen New Zealand passport. It is understood the
Government is concerned that revelations that Mossad agents may be using
New Zealand travel documents could put New Zealanders at risk. Helen
Clark said last night: "The Government takes seriously any action which
challenges the integrity of the New Zealand passport system."

Israeli gets 3.5 years for people smuggling in New Zealand, By DPA,
Haaretz (Israel), April 6, 2004 "A 34-year-old Israeli was jailed for
three-and-a-half years on Tuesday, after failing to convince a judge he
should only be fined for trying to smuggle three Ukrainians into New
Zealand. Rejecting Victor Chechelnitski's offer to pay a fine of 10,000
New Zealand dollars (about 6,600 U.S. dollars), the Auckland High Court
judge said that would be seen by people smugglers as a business expense.
Police said Chechelnitski was arrested in February when he flew from
Bangkok into Auckland with three Ukrainians he had given false Israeli
passports. He was the first person convicted under tough new people
smuggling laws passed in 2002, which carry a maximum prison sentence of
20 years. The judge said that Chechelnitski was not the organizer of the
immigrant-smuggling racket but more of a courier, and noted that the
trio had been brought to New Zealand on a plane, not a leaky boat, Radio
New Zealand reported. The three Ukrainians, named by police as Serhiy
Manyk, Iryna Manyk and Anatoliy Hushul, were said to have paid 7,800
U.S. dollars in Kiev to reach New Zealand. They have been charged with
possessing false passports."

ASIO hunts Israeli cell, By Lincoln Wright, News.com.au (Australia -
from Sunday Herald Sun), April 18, 2004 "The nation's spy-catchers are
investigating a suspected Israeli spy ring in Australia. The Australian
Security Intelligence Organisation has been investigating the suspected
cell for up to a month. Two Israeli citizens appeared in an Auckland
court on Friday charged with passport fraud. One of them, Eli Cara,
claimed to be a Sydney travel agent. He has travelled to New Zealand 24
times since October 2000. Cara, 50, and Zoshe Kelman, 30, faced three
charges after being arrested in a police sting operation late last
March. Another Israeli, Zev William Barkan, 37, escaped from NZ. A
fourth man is believed to be in hiding. The men are suspected of being
Mossad agents, who allegedly were gathering fake NZ passports. Fake
passports are used by intelligence bodies to help their agents travel
undercover. Mossad, the Israeli secret service, has been accused
previously of illegally using Canadian passports. A spokesman for
Attorney-General Philip Ruddock confirmed yesterday that ASIO had been
investigating the matter. He said ASIO had been in touch with its NZ
counterparts. He said the two Israelis had applied for a passport using
the birth certificate of a person with cerebral palsy. NZ police staged
a surveillance operation of the site where the passport was sent on
March 23. The two Israelis were also staking out the site, but were then
arrested. Cara was sitting in a cafe, while Kelman was arrested walking
away after throwing his mobile phone into a bush. After the pair was
released on bail, Cara denied being a Mossad agent when asked about his
arrest. Intelligence sources told the Sunday Herald Sun that the NZ
arrests would have set off alarm bells at ASIO headquarters in Canberra.
If Israel had gone to the trouble of setting up a genuine business in
Sydney as a front for spying, then that would be an extraordinary step,
a source said. ASIO would not be investigating the case unless they
suspected the pair was undeclared spies, the source said. Israel (as
with other countries) could declare its spies to ASIO, and the security
service would know who was who at the country's embassy in Canberra.
"But some countries have undeclared spies, which is seen as pretty
sneaky - and snaky," another source said. The time and expense of
running a genuine business front would indicate a deep commitment to an
operation in Sydney or the South Pacific. NZ Prime Minister Helen Clark
has refused to confirm whether the arrested men were Mossad agents. But
she has contacted the Israeli government about the case. In the late
1970s, Israel was rumoured to have set up a spy ring in Melbourne to
keep an eye on anti-Israeli activists. Israel's acting ambassador to NZ
and Australia, Orna Sagiv, said yesterday she would not comment until
the court proceedings had been completed. "There are two Israeli
citizens there before the justice system, but it's better to wait before
coming to conclusions," she said. A former Israeli Defence Force officer
expressed surprise at the clumsiness of the operation, but added
authorities could not be sure the charged men's names were real if they
were Mossad agents. "Israel has spies everywhere, but Mossad is usually
more professional than that," the IDF officer said. Mossad generally was
quite careful about whom it sent undercover, preferring people with
links to the country they were spying upon. "The aim is to blend into
the local community," the officer said. "These agents have layers and
layers of false identities."

The unseen negotiator, by Mark Perry, The Palestine Report, April 14,
2004 "In the months of negotiations leading up to the signing of the
Oslo Accords in 1993 the Israeli team was informed of each Palestinian
position through reports given them by a senior PLO diplomat. The spy,
later uncovered by the PLO, gave the Israelis an inside view of
Palestinian thinking - and a clear advantage in the Oslo talks. Did the
spy help? "Please, this is a rhetorical question," Shimon Peres said in
Washington just prior to the September 1993 signing of the agreement.
"It was like we were negotiating with ourselves." History has now
repeated itself, though the Israelis have no need for a Palestinian spy.
Over a period of 60 days, since Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
announced his plan to unilaterally withdraw from Gaza, Israeli and US
officials have been negotiating an exchange of letters that will give US
blessing to the Israeli initiative and set a baseline for future
political initiatives. The only difference between 1993 and now, of
course, is that the Palestinians are nowhere to be seen - and Israel is
not about to engage in negotiations with a government that it claims is
supporting terrorism."

Axis Of Spies, TomPaine.Comnon sense, September 1, 2004 "Here's the
axis we should be worried about: The Axis of Spies made up by the
American Enterprise Institute, AIPAC and the Embassy of Israel.If the
FBI weren’t so busy trying to catch nonexistent Al Qaeda suspects, they
might consider devoting a few more resources to tracking down this
expanding Israeli nest of spies. (Oh, and The New Republic is very quiet
on the Larry Franklin spy scandal so far. Very quiet. Too quiet.) The
Jerusalem Post reports, at least, the FBI has seized computer files from
AIPAC’s Steve Rosen, a good start: FBI agents on Friday copied the
computer hard drive of a senior staffer at the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee who has been questioned in relation to the case of a
Pentagon official suspected of turning over a classified document either
directly to Israel, or via the pro-Israel lobby group. That same
article, which you can read here , notes that members of Congress are
rallying (predictably) around AIPAC. Welcome to the nest of spies,
Congressman Hoyer. Haaretz reports that Abraham Foxman of the ADL is
huffing and puffing, demanding that a special commission be appointed to
investigate the person who leaked the probe. That’s dangerous, Mr.
Foxman, because the person who leaked it did so, it is now obvious, in
order to stop the investigation, since Franklin was cooperating with the
FBI to help them get deeper into the nest of spies. So if we find out
who leaked it in the first place, it won’t make Foxman happy ... Both
Steve Rosen, and another AIPAC spy (okay, alleged spy) Keith Weissman,
are named as part of the FBI’s investigation, according to the Jewish
Telegraph Agency and the Los Angeles Times. Neither Rosen nor Weissman
have emerged to defend themselves. “You mean us? Spies?” According to
the New York Times, both have been interviewed by the FBI, and are being
defended by (who else?) Abbe Lowell. The Times also quotes the Israeli
ambassador, Danny Ayalon, saying that the investigation is “fizzling out
because there's nothing there.” Besides, we shredded all that. Meanwhile
Jim Lobe, bane of neocons, writing for Inter Press Service, has a
wonderful piece reminding us that Larry Franklin, the hapless Pentagon
apparatchik and official Stooge of Feith, who wandered into an AIPAC-Israeli
embassy meeting that was being monitored by the FBI, is just the tip of
the iceberg. As Lobe points out, many of the principals in the U.S.
Israeli lobby have been caught up in spy probes going back 25 years,
including Steve Bryen and Doug Feith himself. Also under investigation
have been Richard Perle, Michael Ledeen and Paul Wolfowitz, as Lobe
reports, citing a book by Stephen Green, Taking Sides: America's Secret
Relations with a Militant Israel: Perle, Ledeen, and Wolfowitz have also
been the subject of FBI inquiries, according to Green's account. In
1970, one year after he was hired by Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson, an
FBI wiretap authorized for the Israeli Embassy picked up Perle
discussing classified information with an embassy official, while
Wolfowitz was investigated in 1978 for providing a classified document
on the proposed sale of a U.S. weapons system to an Arab government to
an Israeli official via an AIPAC staffer."

May 16, 2006 -- Interesting confluence of activities
surround Sky Way's aircraft confiscated in Mexico with 5.5 tons of cocaine
and pre-911 Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) investigation of Israeli
art students involved in suspicious activities in Dallas-Fort Worth area
and Venice, Florida in close proximity to some of the 911 hijackers. That
DEA investigation was shut down on orders from Attorney General John
Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller.

This is a further clue that those who planned and carried out the 911
attacks were heavily involved with drug smuggling. These reportedly
include elements of Russian-Israeli-Ukrainian (RUIM) organized crime,
Latin American narco-dealers, U.S. operatives of the radical right-wing
Israeli Kach Party, Saudi billionaire businessmen and Pakistani
intermediaries, and political officials close to the GOP in Texas and
Florida. For example, links have been established between Red Sea
Management in Costa Rica, a company linked to the Sky Way cocaine plane,
and the Israeli embassy in San Jose.

On Sept. 11, 2001, five
Israeli men in a van marked "Urban Moving Systems," were
detained after East Rutherford police were told that the men
were "smiling and exchanging high-fives" when they saw the Trade
Center burning across the Hudson River, according to the
memorandum. An arresting officer, Sgt. Dennis Rivelli, now a
lieutenant with the East Rutherford police, reported that one of
the suspects said "We're Israelis" when police stopped them on
Sept. 11. According to the memorandum, the men - Sivan Kurzberg,
Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner and Omer Marmari - were
questioned by the FBI and detained for several weeks.
Eventually, they were deported on visa violations. According to
Shea, Dominik Suter, listed as the owner of the "Urban Moving
Systems," was questioned by the FBI, but then fled the country.
Eventually, Suter's name appeared on the May 2002 FBI Suspect
List, along with the Sept. 11 hijackers and other suspected
Muslim extremists. search: Kurzberg Shmuel Ellner

Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, the University College London student from
Nigeria accused of trying to detonate a mixed liquid-powder device on a
Northwest Airlines/Delta Airbus 330, flight 253, as it approached Detroit from
Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on Christmas Day appears to have received some
special treatment from security at the Amsterdam airport. The Mutallab case also
resembles that of another attempted plane bombing, that of the hapless
"shoe bomber" Richard Reid.

It has also been revealed that Mutallab is the son of Alhaji Umaru Mutallab,
the former chairman of First Bank of Nigeria. According to This Day of Lagos,
the elder Mutallab claims he reported the extremist views of his son to Nigerian
security agencies, as well as to the U.S. embassy in Abuja, yet no attempt was
made to prevent the radically-inclined Nigerian student to board the plane in
Schiphol. The attempted plane bomber was schooled at the British International
School in Lome, Togo and attended college in London and moved to Egypt and
Dubai. The elder Mutallab is a frequent visitor to the United States and he is
married to a Yemeni woman. The elder Mutallab is also close to Nigerian
President Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, who is recovering from an unspecified
illness in Saudi Arabia. Mutallab and Yar'Adua are both members of the Old Boys
Association of prestigious Barewa College, which counts among its members the
elite of Nigeria, including former head of state Yakubu Gowon, former President
Alhaji Shehu Shagari, Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar III, and
Emir of Zazzau Alhaji Shehu Idris. Mutallab serves as the President of the Old
Boys Association, seen as the "Eton of Nigeria."

There have been calls by the Nigerian opposition for the Vice President of
Nigeria to assume presidential duties as required by the Constitution when the
president is incapacitated.

The younger Mutallab has been linked to an "Al Qaeda" plot to
destroy the American airplane over Detroit.

For a number of years, passengers at Schiphol flying to the United States
have been subjected to intense grilling by security personnel linked to an
Israeli firm. In fact, these procedures were in effect even prior to the 9/11
attacks and many were put into place after the Pan Am 103 bombing in December
1998. U.S.-bound passengers at Schiphol are asked a number of personal
questions, including where they have stayed either in the Netherlands or in
their country of origin. Hotel receipts are routinely requested by security
personnel and the addresses of private temporary residences are recorded.
Mutallab boarded a KLM flight in Lagos for Schiphol where he transited for his
onward flight to Detroit on Northwest/Delta.

Six months prior to Reid's near shoe bombing of American Airlines flight 63
from Paris to Miami in December 2001, while memories of 9/11 were still fresh in
everyone's mind, Reid attempted to board an El Al flight from Schiphol to Tel
Aviv. Reid was taken aside by El Al security and identified as a terrorist
suspect. Reid paid for a one-way ticket with cash and would not reveal what he
planned to do in Israel. However, rather than turning Reid into Dutch security
for further action, he was allowed to board the El Al flight by Israel's Shin
Bet security so his movements during his five days in Israel could be monitored.
Six months later, Reid attempted to ignite his shoe on the flight from Paris to
Miami. Israel had not informed British, American, or any other security agency
of the concerns about Reid. Reid's aunt, Claudette Lewis who raised Reid in
south London, was quoted as saying she believed her nephew had been
"brainwashed."

Reid later said El Al failed to detect that he had explosives in his shoes on
the flight to Tel Aviv, an amazing revelation considering the Israeli airline's
tight security.

The bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland; the attempted shoe
bombing of American Airlines 63; and the near catastrophe involving NWA/Delta
253 while on final approach to Detroit all occurred on or around Christmas at
the height of travel season.

The links between El Al security and Mossad are extremely close with abundant
cross-pollination of senior personnel back and forth.

The security company that allowed Reid to board American Airlines 63 at
Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris was ICTS (International Consultants on
Targeted Security) International. ICTS's senior management are all ex-Israeli
security officials, many of whom worked for El Al security. In 2003, ICTS's
chairman, Ezra Harel, and director Menachem Atzmon were detained and questioned
by police in a criminal investigation of Harel's business dealings. Harel was
accused of paying bribes to Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) director Dan
Cohen, an Israeli attorney who subsequently fled to Peru, for a lucrative
contract involving Harel's company Rogosin Industries and IEC. The illegal deals
involved off-shore entities created by Cohen in the Channel Islands, Velsheda,
CN, Cusley International Ltd. and APK Ltd. and Cobalt, an entity created by
Harel to launder money through Bank Leumi in New York. Harel and Atzmon were
also involved in a questionable deal in acquiring the port of Rostock, Germany
through an entity called Kent Investment Holding Ltd. Atzmon operated through a
number of entities, including Harmony Ventures, BV, Albermale Investment, Ltd.,
and Seehafen Rostock, the company that was managing the operations of thr port
of Rostock.

ICTS's president was Lior Zouker. Zouker stepped down in 2004. Harel, who
started ICTS in 1982, retired in 2003 and was replaced by Elie Housman. Harel, a
U.S.-Israeli dual citizen, died shortly after retiring. Harel for years had used
Delawar-based corporations to conduct his worldwide business activities while
his Israeli banking partner, Atzmon, was based in Zurich.

It was ICTS that largely developed the passenger "profiling"
procedures used at Schiphol and other airports around the world through its
subsidiary, ICTS Holland Products BV.

A significant shareholder in ICTS is an entity called "Everest Special
Situations Fund LP" of Platinum House, 21 Ha'arba'a St.. Tel Aviv.
According to Securities and Exchange Commission filings, the Everest entity is
also financially linked to Metro One Telecommunications of Beaverton, Oregon;
Simon Worldwide, an advertising firm in Los Angeles; Gyrodyne of New York City,
a non-residential building operator; and Concord Camera Corporation, which,
significantly, was headquartered at 4000 Hollywood Boulevard, Presidential
Circle, 6th Floor, North Tower, Hollywood, Florida. On September 11, 2008, SEC
records show that Everest in Tel Aviv sent the following correspondence to
Concord Camera's CEO and President Ira Lampert via Federal Express and fax:

"Dear Mr. Lampert: As you know Everest Special Situations Fund L.P. (we)
owns approximately 7.29% of the outstanding capital stock of Concord Camera
Corp. (Concord or the Company). During the past year, through multiple written
letters, an in-person meeting and numerous telephone conference calls with
management, we have expressed our deep concern over the future of the Company
and provided our views on ways to maximize shareholder value. Unfortunately,
despite your assurance that our serious concerns were being promptly addressed
in a meaningful way, it appears our concerns and suggestions have fallen on deaf
ears. The Company has not provided us with or implemented any substantive
responses regarding the significant concerns we have raised, including: * the
Companys disastrous operational performance, including 17 consecutive quarters
of losses; * the Chief Executive Officers excessive compensation; * the Companys
significant holdings in illiquid auction rate securities and how it intends to
liquidate these positions; and * the inadequate response of the Special
Committee of the Board as to why after 2 years it still has not suggested any
strategic alternatives for the Company. As we have repeatedly suggested, in
order to maximize shareholder value, the Company should immediately begin a
liquidation process and accept our offer to assist in this process. For all the
reasons listed above and in our other public letters, we have lost faith in the
ability of the Companys current Board and management to carry out a liquidation.
If the Company had any intention of liquidating, management should have already
communicated with the Companys clients in order to lead a prompt and orderly
process which would maximize collection of the Companys account receivables and
help the Company and its clients plan ahead. As management has not done so,
shareholders can only reasonably draw two conclusions: * management is looking
to entrench itself and not pursue a liquidation; or * management is not capable
in carrying out a liquidation. We demand that the Company immediately modify the
Board of Directors composition to add representatives of the Companys
shareholders to assist with and accelerate a liquidation or sale process. If the
Company does not promptly meet our reasonable demand, we will not hesitate to
enforce our rights as shareholders to seek Board representation or take any
other actions which we deem appropriate. Specifically, we intend to nominate a
slate of directors with experience in liquidations and sales processes at the
Companys next annual meeting of shareholders and intend to take all necessary
steps to maximize shareholder value immediately following the election of our
slate. Sincerely, /s/ Elchanan Maoz Elchanan Maoz Everest Special Situations
Fund L.P.

On October 31, 2008, Concord Camera, whch specialized in disposable cameras,
announced its liquidation. According to Federal Electiion Commission records,
Lampert, who appears as a trustee of the Mount Sinai Medical Center Foundation
of Miami Beach, had contributed to the campagn of U.S. Representative Debbie
Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat who is strongly pro-Israel. Metro One had
provided Directory Assistance Services for Nextel, Cingular Wireless, and
AT&T Wireless. The following is an excerpt from a Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) report on the suspicious pre-9/11 activities of Israeli
"art students" in the United States:

"At approximately 1:26 am on 3/27/01, S/A's arrested Eran LIVNI, an
Israeli male, Aran OFEK, and Israeli male, and Michal GAL, DOB 8/10/79, POB:
Afula Israel, I&NS #A75-894-941, an Israel female in apartment 216. OFEK and
GAL were recognized by FPS S/A Stokes as having been interviewed by FPS
subsequent to attempting to sell paintings at the DEA Dallas F.D. on Regal Row.
LIVNI admitted to the S/A's he had engaged in attempting to sell art. Also
present in apartment 216 were Noam GAVRIEL an Israeli national, and Netta
Kritzman, a U.S. citizen. Personal belongings were retrieved from apartment #259
for OFEK and GAL. Three other Israeli nationals were encountered in apartment
9259, however, they were not found to be in violation of I&NS status and not
arrested (nor identified in the report).

A number of the Israeli "art students," in addition to some of the
alleged 9/11 Arab hijackers, also resided in Hollywood, Florida, the
headquarters of Concord Camera, which attracted the ire of Everest Special
Situations Fund exactly seven years to the day from the 9/11 attacks.

ICTS is also linked with Israeli espionage against the United States. An ICTS
board member, retired Major General Amos Lapidot, served as commander of the
Israeli Air Force and authorized Israeli Air Force Colonel Aviem Sella,
operating under official cover at the Israeli Consulate General in New York, and
Rafael Eitan, head of LAKAM, an Israeli military technical intelligence
gatherer, to accept U.S. Navy intelligence official Jonathan Pollard's offer to
spy for Israel.

ICTS International, headquartered in Amstelveen, Netherlands, is also
involved in providing various security controls at Schiphol airport. ICTS has a
major presence around the world in airport security with contracts at Hong Kong,
Bangkok, Suva, Auckland, Singapore, Macau, Chicago O'Hare, London Gatwick,
Newark, Los Angeles, and Belfast. In 1999, Detroit airport abruptly canceled its
security contract with Argenbright Security Inc. and replaced it with Huntleigh
of St. Louis. Huntleigh had recently been purchased by ICTS. In December 2001,
Huntleigh/ICTS screeners at San Diego Interntional Airport placed a dummy
"test" grenade in the carry-on baggage of an unwitting Chicago-bound
passenger. Huntleigh/ICTS also provided "security" at Boston's Logan
Airport on September 11, 2001.

In June 2009, ICTS was reportedly teetering on the brink of bankruptcy and
was attracting a number of potential buyers.

one of the best spy agencies in the world. One government source suggests a
theory to Salon that the “art students” were actually a smoke screen.
They were meant to be caught and connected to DEA surveillance so that a
smaller number of spies also posing as art students could complete other

AT&T's Implementation of NSA Spying on
American Citizens

31 December 2005

I wrote the following document in 2004 when it became
clear to me that AT&T, at the behest of the National Security Agency,
had illegally installed secret computer gear designed to spy on internet
traffic. At the time I thought this was an outgrowth of the notorious
Total Information Awareness program, which was attacked by defenders of
civil liberties. But now it's been revealed by The New York Times that the
spying program is vastly bigger and was directly authorized by President
Bush, as he himself has now admitted, in flagrant violation of specific
statutes and constitutional protections for civil liberties. I am
presenting this information to facilitate the dismantling of this
dangerous Orwellian project.

----------------------------------

AT&T Deploys Government Spy Gear on WorldNet
Network

-- 16 January, 2004

In 2003 AT&T built "secret rooms" hidden
deep in the bowels of its central offices in various cities, housing
computer gear for a government spy operation which taps into the company's
popular WorldNet service and the entire internet. These installations
enable the government to look at every individual message on the internet
and analyze exactly what people are doing. Documents showing the hardwire
installation in San Francisco suggest that there are similar locations
being installed in numerous other cities.

The physical arrangement, the timing of its
construction, the government-imposed secrecy surrounding it and other
factors all strongly suggest that its origins are rooted in the Defense
Department's Total Information Awareness (TIA) program which brought forth
vigorous protests from defenders of constitutionally protected civil
liberties last year:

"As the director of the effort, Vice Adm. John M.
Poindexter, has described the system in Pentagon documents and in
speeches, it will provide intelligence analysts and law enforcement
officials with instant access to information from internet mail and
calling records to credit card and banking transactions and travel
documents, without a search warrant." The New York Times, 9 November
2002 To mollify critics, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa)
spokesmen have repeatedly asserted that they are only conducting
"research" using "artificial synthetic data" or
information from "normal DOD intelligence channels" and hence
there are "no U.S. citizen privacy implications" (Department of
Defense, Office of the Inspector General report on TIA, December 12,
2003). They also changed the name of the program to "Terrorism
Information Awareness" to make it more politically palatable. But
feeling the heat, Congress made a big show of allegedly cutting off
funding for TIA in late 2003, and the political fallout resulted in Adm.
Poindexter's abrupt resignation last August. However, the fine print
reveals that Congress eliminated funding only for "the majority of
the TIA components," allowing several "components" to
continue (DOD, ibid). The essential hardware elements of a TIA-type spy
program are being surreptitiously slipped into "real world"
telecommunications offices.

page 2

In San Francisco the "secret room"
... is roughly 24-by-48 feet, containing perhaps a dozen cabinets
including such equipment as Sun servers and two Juniper routers, plus an
industrial-size air conditioner.

The normal work force of unionized technicians in the
office are forbidden to enter the "secret room," which has a
special combination lock on the main door. The telltale sign of an illicit
government spy operation is the fact that only people with security
clearance from the National Security Agency can enter this room. In
practice this has meant that only one management-level technician works in
there. Ironically, the one who set up the room was laid off in late 2003
in one of the company's endless "downsizings," but he was
quickly replaced by another.

Plans for the "secret room" were fully drawn
up by December 2002, curiously only four months after Darpa started
awarding contracts for TIA. One 60-page document, identified as coming
from "AT&T Labs Connectivity & Net Services" and
authored by the labs' consultant Mathew F. Casamassima, is titled Study
Group 3, LGX/Splitter Wiring, San Francisco and dated 12/10/02. This
document addresses the special problem of trying to spy on fiber-optic
circuits. Unlike copper wire circuits which emit electromagnetic fields
that can be tapped into without disturbing the circuits, fiber-optic
circuits do not "leak" their light signals. In order to monitor
such communications, one has to physically cut into the fiber somehow and
divert a portion of the light signal to see the information.

This problem is solved with
"splitters" which literally split off a percentage of the light
signal so it can be examined. This is the purpose of the special cabinet
referred to above: Circuits are connected into it, the light signal is
split into two signals, one of which is diverted to the "secret
room." The cabinet is totally unnecessary for the circuit to perform
-- in fact it introduces problems since the signal level is reduced by the
splitter -- its only purpose is to enable a third party to examine the
data flowing between sender and recipient on the internet.

......

Since the San Francisco "secret room" is
numbered 3, the implication is that there are at least several more in
other cities (Seattle, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego are some of the
rumored locations), which likely are spread across the United States.

One of the devices in the "Cabinet Naming"
list is particularly revealing as to the purpose of the "secret
room": a Narus STA 6400. Narus is a 7-year-old company which, because
of its particular niche, appeals not only to businessmen (it is backed by
AT&T, JP Morgan and Intel, among others) but also to police, military
and intelligence officials. Last November 13-14, for instance, Narus was
the "Lead Sponsor" for a technical conference held in McLean,
Virginia, titled "Intelligence Support Systems for Lawful
Interception and Internet Surveillance." Police officials, FBI and
DEA agents, and major telecommunications companies eager to cash in on the
"war on terror" had gathered in the hometown of the CIA to
discuss their special problems. Among the attendees were AT&T,
BellSouth, MCI, Sprint and Verizon. Narus founder, Dr. Ori Cohen, gave a
keynote speech. So what does the Narus STA 6400 do?

"The (Narus) STA Platform consists of standalone
traffic analyzers that collect network and customer usage information in
real time directly from the message.... These analyzers sit on the message
pipe into the ISP (internet service provider) cloud rather than tap into
each router or ISP device" (Telecommunications magazine, April 2000).
A Narus press release (1 Dec., 1999) also boasts that its Semantic Traffic
Analysis (STA) technology "captures comprehensive customer usage data
... and transforms it into actionable information.... (It) is the only
technology that provides complete visibility for all internet
applications."

To implement this scheme, WorldNet's high-speed data
circuits already in service had to be rerouted to go through the special
"splitter" cabinet.

"A WMS (work) Ticket will be issued by the AT&T
Bridgeton Network Operation Center (NOC) to charge time for performing the
work described in this procedure document.... "This procedure covers
the steps required to insert optical splitters into select live Common
Backbone (CBB) OC3, OC12 and OC48 optical circuits." The NOC referred
to is in Bridgeton, Missouri, and controls WorldNet operations. (As a sign
that government spying goes hand-in-hand with union-busting, the entire
(Communication Workers of America) Local 6377 which had jurisdiction over
the Bridgeton NOC was wiped out in early 2002 when AT&T fired the
union work force and later rehired them as nonunion "management"
employees.) The cut-in work was performed in 2003, and since then new
circuits are connected through the "splitter" cabinet.

Another Cut-In and Test Procedure document dated January
24, 2003, provides diagrams of how AT&T Core Network circuits were to
be run through the "splitter" cabinet. One page lists the
circuit IDs of key Peering Links which were "cut-in" in February
2003, including ConXion, Verio, XO, Genuity, Qwest, PAIX, Allegiance,
AboveNet, Global Crossing, C&W, UUNET, Level 3, Sprint, Telia, PSINet
and Mae West. By the way, Mae West is one of two key internet nodal points
in the United States (the other, Mae East, is in Vienna, Virginia). It's
not just WorldNet customers who are being spied on -- it's the entire
internet.

The next logical question is, what central command is
collecting the data sent by the various "secret rooms"? One can
only make educated guesses, but perhaps the answer was inadvertently given
in the DOD Inspector General's report (cited above):

"For testing TIA capabilities, Darpa and the U.S.
Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) created an operational
research and development environment that uses real-time feedback. The
main node of TIA is located at INSCOM (in Fort Belvoir, Virginia)…."

........

This is the infrastructure for an Orwellian police
state. It must be shut down!

WMR has previously reported on the malfeasance of the U.S. Attorney for
Northern Illinois, Patrick Fitzgerald, in his investigation of the 1993
World Trade Center bombing and the outing of CIA covert agent Valerie
Plame Wilson. In the case of the 1993 attack, Fitzgerald sat on critical
signals intelligence (SIGINT) evidence that would have tied the bombing to
Osama bin Laden in exile in Sudan. Bin Laden remained a U.S. intelligence
asset at the time of the World Trade Center bombing so Fitzgerald,
following orders from Langley, simply failed to enter into evidence
wiretaps communications between the Sudanese Mission to the United Nations
in New York and the Sudanese Foreign Ministry in Khartoum that contained
references to Bin Laden. In the outing of Plame, Fitzgerald refused to
enter as evidence tapped phone calls of Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief
of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and others that would have
proven the severe damage of Libby's actions to the covert
counter-proliferation operation involving Plame and her Brewster Jennings
& Associates cover firm. Fitzgerald's actions in covering up the World
Trade Center link to Sudan and Bin Laden was so significant that Libby's
New York Times interlocutor, Judith Miller, once asked this editor for my
sources on the Sudanese wiretap story. I told her that one was well known,
the late ABC News reporter John McWethy had reported on the Sudan UN
mission wiretaps by the National Security Agency (NSA) in 1993. The other,
a confidential source in Khartoum, remains confidential. McWethy died in a
February 2008 skiing accident in Colorado.

On January 29, the Illinois Senate voted unanimously to remove from
office Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich. This was based on the
selective release of recorded wiretaps of Blagojevich's conversations to
the Senate by Fitzgerald. It appears that Fitzgerald only likes to use
wiretaps when it benefits him and his patrons politically.

Fitzgerald had Blagojevich arrested based on a criminal complaint but
the U.S. Attorney, who grandstanded at a press conference about
Blagojevich causing Abraham Lincoln to "roll over in his grave."
Fitzgerald could not get a grand jury to indict Blagojevich last October
and he has asked for an extension for the grand jury because he still
lacks the evidence to convict. However, Fitzgerald was able to use
selected wiretaps to convince the Illinois Senate to remove Blagojevich
from office in a political, not a criminal, action. Blagojevich is also
barred from ever runing for political office again in Illinois.

WMR has been discussing the Blagojevich impeachment with some
individuals close to some other Democratic governors. It is becoming clear
that what Fitzgerald has in his dossier of evidence on Blagojevich may be
wiretaps that were conducted without a court order as part of the Bush
White House's super-secret STELLAR WIND program that even then-Attorney
General John Ashcroft refused to re-authorize from his hospital bed in
Washington.

If Fitzgerald's evidence is from illegal government wiretaps, including
the drift net surveillance of the communications of Americans, including
their credit card transactions, that was recently revealed by former NSA
employee Russell Tice, as well as the surveillance extent of STELLAR WIND
revealed by former Department of Justice prosecutor Thomas Tamm, there is
a reason to believe that Fitzgerald does not have legal evidence and
leaked selected wiretaps to the Senate in Illinois to have Blagojevich
removed in a political process. Blagojevich wanted to call Barack Obama's
Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett as witnesses
in the alleged "sale" of Obama's U.S. Senate seat matter but was
rebuffed. Emanuel has decided to back the previous Bush administration in
trying to stay a lawsuit in the 9th U.S. Circuit involving the Bush
administration's warrantless wiretap program. This is an indication that
Emanuel and his Israeli intelligence interlocutors do not want to see the
program go away.

Why would Emanuel and Obama want to keep STELLAR WIND in place and deny
plaintiffs the right to know how extensive the program was? First, it
keeps technical details of the operation secret, including the involvement
of Israeli telecommunications firms. Second, it gives the Obama
administration to same power of blackmail over political enemies as was
enjoyed by Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and others in the Bush White House.

It is now known that STELLAR WIND, or a precursor variation of it, was
in place before 9/11. Since that time, five Democratic governors,
including the governors of three large states, have been forced from
office.

The first victim was California Governor Gray Davis. Davis was accused
of colluding with campaign contributors from the energy industry which
resulted in California's sky-rocketing energy rates in 2001. It was none
other than George Soros' maven, Arianna Huffington, who made the charge
that Davis was too cozy with power company executives. It was a false
charge but Davis was put on the political ropes. Davis was recalled as
Governor in October 7, 2003, 10 months after he won re-election by a wide
margin, and was replaced by Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Davis' connections with energy industry lobbyists were plastered all
over the web and were talked about on right-wing radio talk shows. How
would this information been known? We now know that the Bush
administration began its warrantless wiretapping operation shortly after
coming to office in January 2001. In the next few months, California's
energy rates began to shoot skyward, with the assistance of Bush's pals at
Enron, including Ken Lay.

Davis was the first victim of "pay-to-play" allegations
involving Democratic governors. The next was Alabama Democratic Governor
Don Siegelman, who after being ejected from office in a dubious election
rife with voting machine and vote counting fraud, was indicted by a U.S.
Attorneys office with strong connections to Rove and ultimately convicted
and immediately jailed. Siegelman was accused of cutting a favoritism deal
with Healthouth CEO Richard Scrushy. STELLAR WIND was in full operation
when he was convicted in his second trial in 2006. His first trial was
thrown out by the federal judge based on "disallowed evidence."
Was it perhaps illegally obtained wiretaps? Siegelman was convicted in his
second trial presided over by the GOP operative and Pentagon and CIA
contractor, U.S. Judge Mark Fuller.

Democratic Governor victim number three was anti-Wall Street fraud
crusading New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. Spitzer was forced to resign in
March 2008 after it was revealed by GOP dirty tricks operatives that
Spitzer had used the services of an escort service that was later found to
be connected to Israeli government elements. Spitzer's bank account
information had been turned over by HSBC to the Internal Revenue Service
and FBI.

Victim number four was Blagojevich, the governor of Illinois.
Fitzgerald seems to be having problems with presenting valid evidence
against Blagojevich to a grand jury. Why?

The fifth to fall victim to "pay-to-play" allegations was New
Mexico Democratic Governor Bill Richardson, who is apparently the subject
of a current grand jury. Richardson was forced to withdraw his name from
consideration as Secretary of Commerce in the Obama administration.
Republican Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire is now being considered for
the post. WMR has learned that there is bad blood between Richardson and
Emanuel. This begs the question: STELLAR WIND was used by Rove to go after
Democratic enemies of the Bush White House, so might Rahm now be using it
to attack foes of the Obama White House, both Democrats and Republicans?

Richardson's phones in Santa Fe have long been wiretapped by NSA, a
fact previously reported by WMR and confirmed twice to this editor, first
by Richardson's press secretary and then by Richardson himself.

There may be additional victims of STELLAR WIND hanging in the wind. On
January 9, 2009, Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon was indicted in a case
involving her alleged use of pre-paid gift cards. The case was brought by
a Maryland state prosecutor. The evidence against Dixon included wiretaps
of her cell phone and Blackberry. Dixon's predecessor, current Maryland
Democratic Governor Martin O'Malley was a victim of a Spitzer-like GOP
smear campaign about O'Malley's alleged "marital infidelity" in
2005 that originated from a aide to then-Republican Governor Bob Ehrlich.

New Jersey Democratic Governor Jim McGreevey was forced to resign after
word leaked to the press that an Israeli intelligence honeytrap named
Golan Cipel was involved in a homosexual relationship with McGreevey.

McGreevey's successor, Democrat Jon Corzine, was the subject of
"pay-to-play" allegations involving his romantic relationship
with Carla Katz, a union president. Republicans appeared to have been
tipped off about incriminating evidence against Corzine in email exchanges
between him and Katz.

Wisconsin Democratic Governor Jim Doyle was enmeshed in the political
prosecution by the Bush Justice Department of Georgia Thompson, a state
employee. The implication aganst Doyle was yet another
"pay-to-play" allegation involving a state contract. Thompson's
conviction was overturned on appeal.

Massachusetts Democratic Governor Deval Patrick is the subject of a
criminal investigation that also involves a corruption investigation of
Democratic House Speaker Salvatore DiMassi. The probe was launched in
December 2008.

Just a few days before Bush left office, Ohio Democratic Governor Ted
Strickland's former director of faith-based initiatives, Robert McFadden,
was indicted for involvement in on-line prostitution. McFadden's email and
other on-line transactions were used as evidence.

Aside from Connecticut Republican Governor John Rowland, who was
indicted anf jailed for corruption for a Ted Stevens-like deal involving
home repairs in return for state contracts, no other incumbent Republican
Governor was investigated or indicted by what is now known to have been a
political Justice Department and cadre of U.S. Attorneys under Bush.
Although there have been serious corruption allegations brought against
current and former Republican governors Rick Perry of Texas, Jeb Bush of
Florida, Matt Blunt of Missouri, Linda Lingle of Hawaii, Jim Gibbons of
Nevada, Sarah Palin of Alaska, Bob Ehrlich of Maryland (who was linked to
the Pamela Martin & Associates escort service that also involved
Cheney), Sonny Perdue of Georgia, Bob Riley of Alabama, and Mitch Daniels
of Indiana no indictments were ever brought by the Bush Justice
Department.

Republican Governor Bob Taft of Ohio and Ernie Fletcher of Kentucky
were indicted on state criminal misdemeanor charges for corruption but
were never the subject of federal corruption charges by Republican U.S.
attorneys.

The fear at NSA was always that its vast surveillance capabilities
could always be used as a political weapon. It appears that STELLAR WIND
turned NSA's capabilities into such a weapon, one that may continue to be
used by the the new "Rove," Rahm Emanuel, is meting out
punishment to his political enemies. Blagojevich and Richardson have
already fallen. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Pennsylvania Governor Ed
Rendell, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, and others who have been shut
out by the Obama administration may want to keep checking their rear view
mirrors. It is no secret that in Pelosi's case, Emanuel would like to see
her replaced by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland, whose
sister once served as the executive director of the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

60
Minutes on NSA corruption and incompetence. Report follows WMR
report by six years May 24, 2011 --

CBS "60 Minutes" reported on May 22 on former
National Security Agency (NSA) official Thomas Drake's charges of
high-level corruption and incompetence within the eavesdropping agency.

WMR is re-publishing our report on NSA, which includes
a reference to "Thinthread," the first ever report in the media on this
system. There is an Israeli espionage angle to the story about Drake,
NSA mathematician Bill Binney, NSA analyst J. Kirk Wiebe, NSA computer
scientist Ed Loomis, House Intelligence Committee staffer Diane Roark,
Justice Department prosecutor Thomas Tamm and NSA espionage against U.S.
citizens. "The New Yorker" article by Jane Mayer fails to mention this
important element, which may be the real reason for the prosecution of
Drake and the prosecution, recently aborted, of Tamm. Because when it
comes to Israeli espionage in the United States, it's "see no evil, hear
no evil, say no evil."

NSA and selling the nation's prized secrets to
contractors

June 1, 2005

On August 1, 2001, just five and a half weeks before
the 911 attacks, NSA awarded Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) a more
than $2 billion, ten-year contract known as GROUNDBREAKER. The contract
was never popular with NSA's career professionals. Although
GROUNDBREAKER was limited to outsourcing NSA's administrative support
functions such as telephones, data networks, distributed computing, and
enterprise architecture design, the contract soon expanded into the
operational areas -- a sphere that had always been carefully restricted
to contractors. NSA was once worried about buying
commercial-off-the-shelf computer components such as semiconductors
because they might contain foreign bugs. NSA manufactured its own
computer chips at its own semiconductor factory at Fort Meade.
Currently, NSA personnel are concerned that outsourcing mania at Fort
Meade will soon involve foreign help desk technical maintenance provided
from off-shore locations like India.

CSC had originally gained access to NSA through a "buy
in" project called BREAKTHROUGH, a mere $20 million contract awarded in
1998 that permitted CSC to operate and maintain NSA computer systems.
When General Michael V. Hayden took over as NSA Director in 1999, the
floodgates for outside contractors were opened and a resulting deluge
saw most of NSA's support personnel being converted to contractors
working for GROUNDBREAKER's Eagle Alliance (nicknamed the "Evil
Alliance" by NSA government personnel), a consortium led by CSC. NSA
personnel rosters of support personnel, considered protected
information, were turned over to Eagle, which then made offers of
employment to the affected NSA workers. The Eagle Alliance consists of
CSC, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, CACI, Omen, Inc., Keane Federal
Systems, ACS Defense, BTG, Compaq, Fiber Plus, Superior Communications,
TRW (Raytheon), Verizon, and Windemere.

In October 2002, Hayden, who has now been promoted by
Bush to be Deputy Director of National Intelligence under John
Negroponte, opened NSA up further to contractors. A Digital Network
Enterprise (DNE) team led by SAIC won a $280 million, 26 month contract
called TRAILBLAZER to develop a demonstration test bed for a new signals
intelligence processing and analysis system. SAIC's team members
included Booz Allen Hamilton, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Eagle
Alliance team leader CSC. TRAILBLAZER, according to Hayden's own
testimony before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, is now
behind schedule and over budget to the tune of over $600 million.

But that is not the only consequence of these two
mega-contracts for NSA's ability to monitor global communications for
the next 911, which could be a terrorist nuclear strike on the United
States.

NSA insiders report that both contract teams have
melded into one and that NSA's operations are being adversely impacted.
From simple tasks like phones being fixed to computers being updated
with new software, the Eagle Alliance has been a disaster. The Eagle
Alliance and DNE team members are rife with former NSA top officials who
are reaping handsome bonuses from the contracts -- and that has many NSA
career employees crying conflict of interest and contract fraud.

CACI, called "Colonels and Captains, Inc." by critics
who cite the revolving door from the Pentagon to its corporate office
suites, counts former NSA Deputy Director Barbara McNamara as a member
of its board of directors. CACI alumni include Thomas McDermott, a
former NSA Deputy Director for Information Systems Security. Former NSA
Director Adm. Mike McConnell is a Senior Vice President of Booz Allen.
Former NSA Director General Ken Minihan is President of the Security
Affairs Support Association (SASA), an intelligence business development
association that includes Boeing, Booz Allen, CACI, CSC, the Eagle
Alliance, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, SAIC, and
Windemere, all GROUNDBREAKER and TRAILBLAZER contractors, among its
membership. SASA's board of directors (surprise, surprise) includes
CACI's Barbara McNamara. One of SASA's distinguished advisers is none
other than General Hayden.

Although contractors are required to have the same
high level security clearances as government personnel at NSA, there are
close connections between some NSA contractors and countries with
hostile intelligence services. For example, CACI's president and CEO
visited Israel in early 2004 and received the Albert Einstein Technology
Award at ceremony in Jerusalem attended by Likud Party Defense Minister
Shaul Mofaz. The special ceremony honoring CACI's president was
sponsored by the Aish HaTorah Yeshiva Fund. The ultra-Orthodox United
Torah Judaism Party's Jerusalem Mayor, Uri Lupolianski, was also in
attendance. According to Lebanon's Daily Star, CACI's president also met
with notorious racist Israeli retired General Effie Eitam who advocates
expelling Palestinians from their lands. The U.S. delegation also
included a number of homeland security officials, politicians, and
businessmen. CACI has also received research grants from U.S.-Israeli
bi-national foundations. A few months after the award ceremony for
CACI's president, the Taguba Report cited two CACI employees as being
involved in the prison torture at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The U.S.
military commander for the Iraqi prisons, General Janis Karpinski,
reported that she witnessed Israeli interrogators working alongside
those from CACI and another contractor, Titan.

When the Taguba Report was leaked, the office of
Deputy Defense Secretary for Policy Douglas Feith issued an order to
Pentagon employees not to download the report from the Internet. Feith
is a well-known hard line supporter of Israel's Likud Party and,
according to U.S. government insiders, his name has come up in FBI
wiretaps of individuals involved in the proliferation of nuclear weapons
material to Israel via Turkish (including Turkish Jewish)
intermediaries. These wiretaps are the subject of a Federal probe of who
compromised a sensitive CIA counter-proliferation global operation that
used a carve out company called Brewster Jennings & Associates to
penetrate nuclear weapons smuggling networks with tentacles extending
from Secaucus, New Jersey to South Africa and Pakistan and Turkey to
Israel.

According to the Jewish Telegraph Agency, some six
months before the Abu Ghraib torture scandal was first uncovered, one of
Feith's assistants, Larry Franklin, met with two officials of the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) at the Tivoli
Restaurant in Arlington, Virginia. According to FBI surveillance tapes,
Franklin relayed top secret information to Steve Rosen, AIPAC's then
policy director, and Keith Weissman, a senior Iran analyst with AIPAC.
Franklin has been indicted for passing classified information to AIPAC.
In addition, three Israeli citizens have been identified as possible
participants in the spy scandal. They are Naor Gilon, the political
officer at the Israeli embassy in Washington; Uzi Arad, an analyst with
the Institute for Policy and Strategy in Herzliya (the northern Tel Aviv
suburb where the headquarters of Mossad is located); and Eran Lerman, a
former Mossad official who is now with the American Jewish Committee.

What has some NSA officials worried is that with
pro-Israeli neocons now engrained within the CIA, Defense Intelligence
Agency (DIA), State Department, and National Security Council, NSA is
ripe for penetration by Israeli intelligence. NSA has a troubled past
with Israel. In 1967, Israeli warplanes launched a premeditated attack
on the NSA surveillance ship, the USS Liberty, killing and wounding a
number of U.S. sailors and NSA civilian personnel. Convicted Israeli spy
Jonathan Pollard compromised a number of NSA sensitive sources and
methods when he provided a garage full of classified documents to
Israel. But NSA is also aware of an incident where Israelis used a
contractor, RCA, to gain access to yet additional NSA sources and
methods. In the 1980s, against the wishes of NSA, the Reagan
administration forced NSA to permit RCA, one of its major contractors,
to develop a tethered aerostat (balloon) signals intelligence and
direction finding system for the Israeli Defense Force. According to NSA
officials, the Israeli-NSA joint project, codenamed DINDI, was
established at a separate facility in Mount Laurel, New Jersey and apart
from the main NSA developmental center at RCA's facility in Camden, New
Jersey. Although NSA and RCA set up a strict firewall between the
contractor's national intelligence contract work and the separate DINDI
contract, Israeli engineers, who were working for Mossad, soon broke
down the security firewall with the assistance of a few American Jewish
engineers assigned to the DINDI project. The security breach resulted in
a number of national intelligence developmental systems being
compromised to the Israelis, including those code named PIEREX, MAROON
ARCHER, and MAROON SHIELD. DINDI was quickly cancelled but due to the
sensitivity surrounding the American Jewish engineers, the Reagan
Justice Department avoided bringing espionage charges. There were some
forced retirements and transfers, but little more. But for NSA, the
duplicity of the Israelis added to the enmity between Fort Meade and
Israeli intelligence.

With outside contractors now permeating NSA and a
major Israeli espionage operation being discovered inside the Pentagon,
once again there is a fear within NSA that foreign intelligence services
such as the Mossad could make another attempt to penetrate America's
virtual "Fort Knox" of intelligence treasures and secrets.

Thanks to some very patriotic and loyal Americans
inside NSA, this author is now in possession of an internal NSA contract
document from November 2002 that shows how GROUNDBREAKER and TRAILBLAZER
have allowed the Eagle Alliance and other contractors to gain access to
and even virtual control over some of the most sensitive systems within
the U.S. intelligence community. One suspect in this unchecked
outsourcing is the person Hayden hired from the outside to act as
Special Adviser to his Executive Leadership Team, Beverly Wright, who
had been the Chief Financial Officer for Legg Mason Wood Walker in
Baltimore. Before that, Wright had been the Chief Financial Officer for
Alex Brown, the investment firm at which George W. Bush's grandfather,
Prescott Bush, once served as a board member. As one senior NSA official
sarcastically put it, "She's highly qualified to work in intelligence!"

According to the document, the future of some 10,000
Windows NT and UNIX workstations and servers that handle some of NSA's
most sensitive signals intelligence (SIGINT) (the Signals Intelligence
Directorate workstation upgrade is code named BEANSTALK) and electronics
intelligence (ELINT) applications, including databases that contain
communications intercepts, are now firmly in the grasp of the Eagle
Alliance. Operational workstations are being migrated to a
less-than-reliable Windows/Intel or "WINTEL" environment. The document
boldly calls for the Eagle Alliance to establish a SIGINT Service
Applications Office (SASO) to "provide and maintain Information
Technology services, tools, and capabilities for all [emphasis added]
SIGINT mission applications at the NSA." This is a far cry from the
non-operational administrative support functions originally specified in
the GROUNDBREAKER contract.
